Documentation generators and custom syntax highlighting
Zola (https://www.getzola.org/) can generate from markdown-ish files nice looking documentation websites (and also RSS feeds), it uses syntect (https://github.com/trishume/syntect) which supports sublime syntax highlight files. For github readme I don't have a solution besides using a png.

[Media] I made a Rust CLI game that tests how fast you can guess the language of a code block!
I love that idea! I think there might be a better way than just hardcoding all the comment types for all the languages, though. I'm using the syntect library which will parse the code based on syntax files, so I opened an issue there to see if they have anything that could help.

Is calling a Rust function from NodeJS via WASM like really slow?
Very recently, I stumbled onto a library called syntect, which is a syntax highlighting library, and I got interested in the project because it promises to be really fast.

Shiki Syntax Highlighter
Coincidentally, I recently looked into the slow startup time for shiki and it was mostly from parsing JSONC, not WASM: https://github.com/shikijs/shiki/issues/439.

Dark mode with Shiki and Code Hike
Warning: This article refers to versions of Code Hike before 0.8.0. Since version 0.8.0, Code Hike uses lighter instead of Shiki. The approach presented in this article uses shiki's color replacement method, which no longer works with lighter.

The outcome I was (mostly) hoping for has been done by Shiki library! I take no credit for the idea btw, I am just glad that someone else (Pine) took it on!
