How to make C functions like printf or user made functions highlighted in Vim?
I personally just use vim-cpp-modern because it supports C and C++ and highlights most things well. I've also tweaked it to highlight identifiers in most situations (so far it's correct for everything except C++ templates).

C++ syntax highlighting for my classes
I’ve been using, and loving, this syntax highlighting plugin for C++, and one thing I love about it is that the names of STL types get highlighting. That’s real nice, but what I really want is similar syntax highlighting for my own classes, working across files.

As far as better syntax highlighting you can have a look at this for C++ and this for python.

Then open the file in your favorite code editor, that is for me neovim btw, you might want to install a treesitter to provide some syntax highlighting although nice but not necessary, in vscode you can install a plugin for the syntax highlighting.

How to Setup Vim for Kotlin Development
Neovim could use the default regex based grammar that Vim uses for syntax highlighting. But I recommended installing treesitter. This uses a concrete syntax tree to provide more semantic meaning to tokens, allowing enriched (and faster) highlighting.

Neovim for beginners
Treesitter is what makes your neovim colorful. It uses the LSP and colorscheme and colors your variables, keywords and other stuff. To understand how treesitter works and configure treesitter please read the docs. Here is my configuration for treesitter:

Simple Neovim config
nvim-treesitter is a plugin that has been around for 4 years now. A lot of people will say this is essential to your Neovim experience, and I do agree to some extend. It is incredibly useful... as a dependency for other plugins. It allows Neovim to gather more information about source code of the current file, and plugin authors can do really cool things that. For "normal users" like you and me there are some modules we can enable. One of them can be used to enhance the syntax highlight of many programming languages. That I think the feature nvim-treesitter is known for.
