An Io (Language) Vim Plugin

Who here doesn't enjoy a little color in their life? I know I do, especially when used to highlight the syntax of a language - as anyone who's been around me while downing a few pints can attest!

Learning, Io, and Vim

Io Syntax Highlighting in VimIn an attempt to feed our insatiable desire to learn, a few of us at VersionOne are doing a book club on Seven Languages in Seven Weeks. We’re currently working on chapter 2: Io. My current favorite editor is Vim. I wanted syntax highlighting for Io, in Vim.

I found a decent Vim script to get Io syntax highlighting, and then wrote a quick ftdetect script to set Io-related files to use the Io syntax. The resulting vim-io plugin is currently embedded in my dotfiles on the GitHubs, but if there’s interest I can pull them out into a standalone plugin.

Grab it, enjoy it, fork and improve it!

Hello Steven,
the io distribution contains slightly extended version of the vim plugin. You will find syntax highlighters for other editors in the same folder.
github.com/.../io.vim

@petr, thanks for the info. I've updated my syntax file with Steve's version. Think I'll also fork the Io repo and add the ftdetect stuff in directly. Or maybe it's time to pull out a vim-io plugin and have Steve pull it in via a submodule.

At any rate, thanks!
