Get syntax highlighting for LiveScript on GitHub

[gkz]

Need to submit a pull request to https://github.com/github/linguist

[paulmillr]

and to https://bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/pygments-main (bitbucket sucks dong)

[paulmillr]

@gkz today is livescript day.

I've made pulls to:

• linguist (lang stats)
• pygments (syntax highlighting)

this how it will look like in a bit on gh

[gkz]

Great work! Looks awesome. Some things to add to the example:

<[ list of words ]>
!->
!~>
!-->
!~~>
<-!
<-!

Post when the pull request for linguist has all tests passing and I'll go +1 it and perhaps post in several places encouraging people to +1 it.

some things to add

Done. Single regex works badly because I copied original code from coffeescript lexer and it ain't work there too.

[gkz]

Cool stuff!

Just looking at http://gkz.github.com/LiveScript/#literals

obj =
  prop: 1
  prop2: 2

void 
undefined
yes
no
on
off

16~ff

"The answer is #{2 + 2}"

variable = "world"
"Hello #variable"

heredoc = '''
        string can be multiline 
        with newlines
        and go on and on 
        beginning whitespace is 
        ignored
'''

Note that !-> isn't a single unified operator. You can write e.g.:

$ coco -bce ':f ! -> ! :g -> x'
(function f(){
  (function g(){
    x;
  });
});

finally merged.

github seems still using an old pygments: https://github.com/g0v/hack.g0v.tw/blob/master/app/app/hub.ls is not rendering correctly

[apaleslimghost]

There is a problem in general with <[]> arrays.

[clkao]

but on pygments demo site it rendered fine.
