30 <p>This piece aims to highlight (pun intended) some of the
31reasons behind my <a href="https://files.nerdypepper.tech/bF.png">color
32free</a> editor setup.</p>
33
34<p>Imagine highlighting an entire book because <em>all</em> of it is
35important. That is exactly what (most) syntax highlighting
36does. It is difficult for the human eye to filter out noise
37in rainbow barf. Use color to draw attention, not diverge
38it.</p>
39
40<p>At the same time, a book devoid of color is <em>boring!</em>. What
41is the takeaway from this 10 line paragraph? What are the
42technical terms used?</p>
43
44<p>Prose and code are certainly different, but the fickle
45minded human eye is the same. The eye constantly looks for a
46frame of reference, a focal point. It grows tired when it
47can&#8217;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
51right):</p>

54
55<p>Without highlighting (far left), it is hard to differentiate
56between comments and code! The florid color scheme (far
57right) is no good either, it contains too many attention
58grabbers. The center sample is a healthy balance of both.
59Function calls and constants stand out, and repetitive
60keywords and other noise (<code>let</code>, <code>as</code>) are mildly dimmed
61out. Comments and non-code text (sign column, status text)
62are dimmed further.</p>
63
64<p>I&#8217;ll stop myself before I rant about color contrast and
65combinations.</p>
