Fortran! I first programmed in Fortran, some 25 years ago! We used special sheets to write our (very simple) code, which werre subsequently "compiled" on special perforated cards...
Ahh, memories.
Anyway, Rickard, for some time I've been thinking about similar feature request: similar in the sense that I was going to ask for a support for a very, err, unorthodox file format, namely YAML:
http://www.yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html Thing is, it has no keywords, just structure (roughly speaking, it is supposed to be a substitute for XML, but better human-readable and easier maintainable). As you can see from samples on the website, it has no tags, or, should I say, its tags have no braces. I haven't attempted to define a syntax file for YAML, but something is telling me that it would be impossible within current specifications, due to the very fluid YAML form. I am writing this because maybe you would need to find completely new way to ensure support for Fortran language (a plugin rather than massive rework of the current code) and if there are more than just one reason to take it into consideration (now it would be two
) you would be more inclined to give it some thought?
