Maintainer wanted

[Announcement]

Hey, just wanted to say I was interested in possibly becoming a maintainer!
What all would that involved I'd like to get started right away!

🎉 In the "Contribute" section https://github.com/simurai/tone-syntax#contribute are steps how to get started. Is that enough clear?

[Announcement]

Yeah it's clear enough thanks

Apologies for butting in, but as I'm unfamiliar with syntax support styles in Atom, would if be possible for you to add a link here to give me a heads up Simurai? I'd be keen to give it a go... thanks

@objectkit Here some more infos, but it might not go into details.

What language are you familiar with? Here an example for "Go".

1. Doublicate styles/languages/javascript.less so you have a starting point and rename the file to go.less.
2. Add the file to styles/languages/_index.less with @import 'go';.
3. In go.less replace the styles with

// Go

.@{s}go {

  &.@{s}string {
    .uno-1();
  }

  &.@{s}keyword {
    .duo-1();
  }

}

4. Open a .go file that has some sample code. You should already see that strings and keywords have a different color.
5. Now place the cursor somewhere in the Go sample code that you want to highlight and press cmd-alt-p. This should open a popup like
   
6. In this example variable.other.assignment.go it's a variable. We could be more specific with .other.assignment, but maybe ok to highlight all variables the same. So in go.less add the following.

// Go

.@{s}go {

  &.@{s}string {
    .uno-1();
  }

  &.@{s}keyword {
    .duo-1();
  }

  &.@{s}variable {
    .tri-1();
  }

}

7. This should make variables have a tri-1 color. Here the whole color palette to choose from.
8. Once you're happy, commit and send a PR. 🙇

Thinking about it, I might can add a few more languages. So it's easier to get started if there is already some syntax highlighting.

Ok, here a bunch more languages: #6
