Mill: A fast JVM build tool for Java and Scala
I believe you have influence over the syntax highlighting on GitHub of .mill files by informing it they're actually Scala, which would make reading those files much nicer IMHO: https://github.com/github-linguist/linguist/blob/v8.0.1/docs...
Or, I believe you can submit a PR to linguist to make it globally registered: https://github.com/github-linguist/linguist/blob/v8.0.1/CONT...

Pragtical: The practical and pragmatic code editor
https://github.com/pragtical/plugins/commit/54096a6461f5c034... makes me long for The One Grammar To Rule Them ™
I thought for a while that TextMate bundles[1] were that, especially since JetBrains[2], Linguist[3] and VSCode[4] honor them. However, in the spirit of "the good thing about standards ..." highlight.js does[5] almost the same thing that Pragtical does which makes me feel even worse
I had high hopes for Tree-Sitter since it seems to have really won mindshare, but the idea of having an executable grammar spec[6] is ... well, no wonder it hasn't caught on outside of that specific ecosystem

What is the proper language markup type we should use for a MakeFile code snippet?
Another option is to use Linguist which is what GitHub uses (I use linguist via .gitattributes files for all of my code projects). It is community driven and supports essentially every language possible: see languages.yml.
