A comment on Vim Colors. Parent comment

It occurs to me that the fewer lexical types a language has, the less possible it is to highlight it in a pleasant way. Lisps and Forths (and most assembly languages) must look unpleasantly spare; and an encoding like Urbit's Nock would be literally monochrome.

Clojure is an exception to the number of lexical types found in most Lisps, note. Scheme doesn't highlight nearly as nicely.

That's code for a fancy loading screen, which animates some svg thing and also shows a couple happy messages (aka blurbs.)

I would really like to read the rest of the source of whatever that application is.

Are you using Reagent?

I am using reagent and re-frame. Sadly the codebase is closed source. :(

OMG! How do I do that? Mind sharing your configuration?

Sure, I use emacs prelude. I think you can get the same results here if you just use prelude + the amazing theme called moe. My emacs config (which is to be used inside/ontop of prelude) is at https://github.com/escherize/prelude-dotemacs

loved the rainbow brackets on that, it must be so useful to see where they match up with colour.

It is! Also when your cursor is on a paren, the text editor lights up its partner: http://take.ms/PJS1p
