There are a lot of programming languages to support, so please bear with us. But we're making good progress. What other languages do you use?

- JasonFruit 12y agoA number of them, but Pascal is a rare enough inclusion to have made me try it out — only to find that it shouldn't have been included in the list of supported languages, because it's not. Better to list fewer features but implement them well, in my opinion.
- joelmoss 12y agoI understand where you are coming from, but its difficult to decide when such a feature becomes a feature. We have syntax highlighting for Pascal, so you could argue that we support it, but of course, there is a lot more that we could do to make Pascal devs lives easier and more fruitful.
- leeoniya 12y agoquite a strange take, IMO. i guess you could just as easily claim "Support for over 60 languages out of the box" by integrating Codemirror [1], though i would consider this to be quite disingenuous. without singing up, it's hard to say how much is there, but autocomplete, some form of function & class list and a syntax checker / linter would be a minimum to claim any form of language support in the context of an IDE. my 0.02 [1] http://codemirror.net/mode/index.html http://codemirror.net/mode/index.html
