can anyone tell my why the FUCK the people who wrote the meme code editors (textm8, sublime, atom, vscode) are so fucking braindead?
tmlanguage is the dumbest fucking thing, whoever thought of using regex to colorize languages is an idiot, but the morons who decided to carry over this garbage regex shit for 3 more generations of meme editors are worse
You can't start a thread with vitriol, it doesn't work (I tried). You have to start a thread lauding the virtues of the inverse of your actual views. That's how you grow classic /prague/ threadmeat, intice Cudder to post anonymously, and eventually summon the trips guy. You'll have to be clever about it -- perhaps even convince yourself of your own argument before dubs -- but the results are worthwhile.

I never got code coloring, do you color your books to make them easier to read?

>>4 Code isn't prose. It's a serialisation of an abstract syntax tree, a common language for communication of intent from meat to silicon. It's a compromise between human expression and computer interpretation. Just NLP algorithm difficulty interpreting sentence fragment words missing, humans wouldn't mind a little help with colour-coded feedback, at the first possible moment the computer can indicate failure. If you disable syntax highlighting for macho programmer points, why bother with an assembler when a hex editor works too?
