It's incredibly refreshing to see the refusal of other countries' agency being called out as orientalist.
That's exactly what it is.

Most Labour reforms haven't even made it through the parliament yet! They couldn't possibly impact the voters!
A chaotic overreaction at this point would be disastrous

There's so much anxiety in political spaces I'm in re: Reform

It's a miracle any code gets highlighted at all

One might ask, "but what about tree-sitter"? It's very nice, but requiring a few megabytes *per language* is often unfeasible. 83 megabytes of generated C code to parse SQL!

The two levels are intertwined. Grammars transparently insert anchors into your code before handing it to Oniguruma and rewrite regexps on the fly, but it's not documented anywhere
It's so cursed Microsoft basically stopped touching their vscode implementation

VSCode just ships a WASM compiled binary of that library because JS regexps won't do
Oh and the Japanese person got fed up with open source a few days back and archived the repo

There is no spec for that machine, it's "whatever textmate (or vscode) does"
Second level is the regex engine, Oniguruma. Literally this meme except the person is Japanese
The engine has so many esoteric features you can't use any other regex engine but this one

Most major IDEs run a grossly underspecified two-level virtual machine to highlight your code
First level is the language grammar. Looks like innocent JSON but those includes are more like function calls

The top effective marginal tax rate is about 60% (due to the personal allowance taper off), or over 100% if you have kids.
At the same time, income tax on a median salary is about half that of what Germans are paying.

"Senior Project Manager" responsible for making and servicing our nukes gets about 30% of what a senior software developer can make at Facebook selling ads for penis pills

Ideally we want people ensuring their reliability paid well, too
Alas, some AWE salaries are self-reported uk.indeed.com/cmp/Awe-a2ac... and they are substantially lower than what can be found in private industry

Worse than that, theres a real risk of our nuclear deterrent arrangements becoming untenable and/or insufficient, and those things just slurp money and time
