  Run

  • put the text above into /usr/share/mc/syntax/nim.syntax
  • add this entry for nim into /usr/share/mc/syntax/Syntax

  
  file .\*\\.(nim)$ nim\sProgram
  include nim.syntax
  Run

  (in the end, right before file .\* unknown)

  Probably it's not ideal, but you can correct it for your own taste

  "built-ins" and "built-in types" are not meaningful categories for Nim and only a distraction from what is really going on: There are identifiers usually coming from system.nim but not always (other modules might add overloads of the same name) and system.nim contains much more than just "echo" and "inc".

  Actually when I composed this file I was in doubt whether 'built-ins' should be highlighted or not. As to types it seemed natural to me to have them colored. It is merely my personal preference and it is not an attempt to perverse the language ideas :)

  There are identifiers usually coming from system.nim but not always (other modules might add overloads of the same name) and system.nim contains much more than just "echo" and "inc".

  Well, I have almost all libc functions colored in my /usr/share/mc/syntax/c.syntax. Because I want them to be colored despite the fact that they are not about syntax itself at all.

  in https://ssalewski.de/nimprogramming.html types are colored, btw (int8, seq, set and so on)

  Yeah the common syntax highlighters are all nuts, my own book is also affected, sadly.

  on general highlighting topic, nimib uses (for html syntax highlighting) the same type of keywords that highlight.js uses, in that way you can pick any highlight.js style (see the highlight.js demo, select all languages to see how nim fares and then pick your style). generation of highlighted code is statically done (no need for highlight.js) with this module (courtesy of @yardanico 🙏): https://github.com/pietroppeter/nimib/blob/main/src/nimib/highlight.nim
