First reaction: Congrats, looks great!

Second reaction: Yet another, completely different syntax highlighting implementation/definition list... https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/tree/master/runtime/syntax

Couldn't pick any of the hundreds that already exist? :(

Looks like these are just nanorc files. so reusing nano's definitions? The project name also checks out.

They look similar, but definitely not the same:

https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/blob/master/runtime/syntax...

https://github.com/nanorc/nanorc/blob/master/csharp.nanorc

Looks like they were s&r'd. Which kind of makes the case: why not just make it compatible with nanorc? (Or anything else really, just, something that doesn't create yet-another uncountable set of syntax highlighting files that has to be maintained to support just one more editor)

What is the best syntax highlighting implementation/definition format out there ?
