Want to see the legitimate use of colour in code? Here. My only complaint about this colour scheme is that the comments are too washed out. Someone wrote them, they must be important and thus need to stand out.

@icon_of_computational_sin@mstdn.starnix.network > Colours only needs to attract your attention to what's important Like that nyan cat in your status bar? :marseysmirk: Seriously, what's wrong with highlighting keywords and making lexical structure more obvious? To efficiently navigate around you have to be able to tell where the variable name starts from two metres away using colours only, without seeing actual characters. If I wanted code that looks like a monolith, I'd print it on a continuous roll of paper, but we are not at an 80s themed costume party. Sadly :marseyemojismilemouthtighteyes:
