30 | <p>This piece aims to highlight (pun intended) some of the | ||
31 | reasons behind my <a href="https://files.nerdypepper.tech/bF.png">color | ||
32 | free</a> editor setup.</p> | ||
33 | |||
34 | <p>Imagine highlighting an entire book because <em>all</em> of it is | ||
35 | important. That is exactly what (most) syntax highlighting | ||
36 | does. It is difficult for the human eye to filter out noise | ||
37 | in rainbow barf. Use color to draw attention, not diverge | ||
38 | it.</p> | ||
39 | |||
40 | <p>At the same time, a book devoid of color is <em>boring!</em>. What | ||
41 | is the takeaway from this 10 line paragraph? What are the | ||
42 | technical terms used?</p> | ||
43 | |||
44 | <p>Prose and code are certainly different, but the fickle | ||
45 | minded human eye is the same. The eye constantly looks for a | ||
46 | frame of reference, a focal point. It grows tired when it | ||
47 | can’t find one.</p> | ||
48 | |||
49 | <p>The following comparison does a better job of explaining | ||
50 | (none, ample and over-the-top highlighting, from left to | ||
51 | right):</p> | ||
52 | |||

54 | |||
55 | <p>Without highlighting (far left), it is hard to differentiate | ||
56 | between comments and code! The florid color scheme (far | ||
57 | right) is no good either, it contains too many attention | ||
58 | grabbers. The center sample is a healthy balance of both. | ||
59 | Function calls and constants stand out, and repetitive | ||
60 | keywords and other noise (<code>let</code>, <code>as</code>) are mildly dimmed | ||
61 | out. Comments and non-code text (sign column, status text) | ||
62 | are dimmed further.</p> | ||
63 | |||
64 | <p>I’ll stop myself before I rant about color contrast and | ||
65 | combinations.</p> | ||
