  • scintillua

    Scintillua enables Scintilla lexers to be written in Lua, particularly using LPeg. It can also be used as a standalone Lua library for syntax highlighting support.

  • There’s a related project that’s really cool called scintillua that lets you use lpeg lexers for scintilla. It supports over 120 languages and it’s super easy to add new ones.

    https://github.com/orbitalquark/scintillua

    You can also use it as a standalone lua library. I packaged it up to make a faster (but much less feature full) alternative to bat.
