    For God sake, add a syntax highlighting on the official page! Otherwise this is awesome

      Rob Pike seems to dislike syntax highlighting:

      &gt; Syntax highlighting is juvenile. When I was a child, I was taught arithmetic using colored rods (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Cuisenaire_rods" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Cuisenaire_rods). I grew up and today I use monochromatic numerals.

      <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;groups.google.com&#x2F;g&#x2F;golang-nuts&#x2F;c&#x2F;hJHCAaiL0so&#x2F;m&#x2F;kG3BHV6QFfIJ" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;groups.google.com&#x2F;g&#x2F;golang-nuts&#x2F;c&#x2F;hJHCAaiL0so&#x2F;m&#x2F;kG3B...

      He is definitely not alone in thinking this, for example (but for different reasons): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.linusakesson.net&#x2F;programming&#x2F;syntaxhighlighting&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.linusakesson.net&#x2F;programming&#x2F;syntaxhighlighting&#x2F;

        Rob Pike doesn&#x27;t disclose that he has color blindness when he says he doesn&#x27;t see the value in syntax highlighting. Classy.
