It'd be nice if they'd add Rust to the list.

The good news is that anyone can do it :D

Check out https://github.com/github/linguist. It's the library GH uses to detect and highlight languages; and _many_ people external from GH have contributed to it. It's just a matter of someone adding a lexer for Rust and submitting a pull request :D

I _almost_ added support to linguist once, but something stopped me. I can't quite remember what it was... I _think_ it was that only edge pygments supported Rust.

Writing syntax highlighter for TOML takes ~10mins. Rust syntax isn't so simple.

there's probably more TOML than Rust on GitHub already, though

I highly doubt that. At the very least: Servo.

And core/std libs.
