1. Jens' solution is good. I've used for the Pygments highlighter and for racket-mode. I recommend it! You may want to stop reading now. :)
2. Coincidentally very recently I've been taking a fresh look at this for racket-mode. I think a recent commit message sums it up pretty well: https://github.com/greghendershott/racket-mode/commit/5956f51c0e14d2c295adaf644b0e8c7f6448701d ~~~ The question of what is a "keyword" and a "builtin" is not so simple in Racket: 1. The distinction between the two is squishy, and from one point of view Racket has 1400+ "primitives" (!). 2. As for "builtins", there are many, many "batteries included" libraries in the main distribution. Where to draw the line? 3. More fundamentally, Racket is a language for making languages. Ultimately the only way to be 100% correct is to do something "live" with namespace-mapped-symbols. But I don't see that as performant for Emacs font-lock. Here I'm saying that: (a) "keywords" are syntax (only) from racket/base (b) "builtins" are everything else provided by #lang racket and #lang typed/racket (except the capitalized Types from typed/racket go into their own list). Plus for modern macros, racket/syntax and a few items from syntax/parse (but not all the syntax classes, because things like `id` and `str` are too "generic" and too likely to be user program identifiers). Is that somewhat arbitrary? Hell yes. It's my least-worst, practical idea for now. Also, IMHO it's an improvement over getting pull requests to add people's favorites, a few at a time. At least this way is consistent, and can be regenerated programatically as Racket evolves. ~~~ TL;DR No fixed list will be correct. Some fixed lists will pragmatically be OK for most people. It's a judgment call where to draw the line -- whether you want to include identifiers also from typed/racket, racket/syntax, syntax/parse, or others. Also I have a commit to support Emacs font-lock-maximum-decoration (the level of font-lock), so people who find the pragmatic list of keywords annoying or distracting can just completely disable highlighting those. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
