Comment on Show HN: Clojure syntax highlighting for gedit

Comments

Too much orange, I think? Unless of course the orange is the "default" color for the theme. Anyhow, wouldn't you want at least the core functions/macros to be more of a distinctive color?

Q: too much orange? A: Yes! I find it somewhat annoying as well; the standard identifier color was so close to plain white that I couldn't easily see the difference -- at least the orange is obvious.

Q: different colors for core symbols? A: Yes! I'm working on exactly that in the second style file (closure.lang in the repo) -- I've just added a screencap. The eventual goal is to distinguish between special forms, built-in macros, built-in functions, %-args, reserved, &, and all others. (I hope I'm not forgetting anything). Suggestions are welcome!
