Hehe, I was just going to suggest running Rainbow against highlight.js's test suite. I doubt it would do nearly as well. Sagalaev's highlighter is awesome, he put a lot of work into it.
This thing was written in ~2 weeks, so there's no way it can compete with a project that's 2 years old! It can either stagnate or evolve, but I think that the way the code is laid out will encourage a lot of collaboration. Personally, I love and use Highlight, but (I confess, as a textmate ho) I'd like to see rainbow improve. Competition is always good. Maybe you guys can/should help each other?
Correction: highlight.js is 6 years old :-). And yes, I'm going to look into Rainbow more properly for useful ideas. And I encourage Craig to do the same. Isn't Open Source awesome? :-)
It is. And holy crap, 6 years, wow... time flies! I'm keeping track of both of you now. I know that collaboration on projects like these is almost impossible. Do you guys live near e/o? heh
No one says you should. It's an alternate implementation. I don't understand the "competition" angle, is there a paid version for both of these projects that is forcing people to choose one over the other?
