I don’t agree with this at all. syntax highlighting is more useful when looking at small chunks of code. I only need to know the difference between the two words next to each other, or if I properly closed a string definition.
I should memorize my theme colors? give me a break. the only one I need to know is which one is a string, the rest are “code”
I wouldn’t vehemently disagree with this so much if the article didn’t make so many assumptions, and was in a more conversational tone. “Getting it wrong” sounds pompous, but if you just talked about how YOU used syntax highlighting, I wouldn’t care so much
Yeah, there are maybe a couple of reasonable ideas like using background and making comments stand out more, but that’s it. Especially weird is the idea about light theme not being used because of syntax highlight
