It looks cool and all, but is syntax highlighting actually useful?
I am starting to feel that all those colors are really distracting.
What are your thoughts about it?

It would be incredibly more annoying without highlighting.
Parker Morgan
highlighting is pretty and therefore I like it
Camden Mitchell
It depends on the colours you choose. I can see why those colours would distract you.
Jace Flores
I think you should try pastel-light colors. you can still tell the colors apart but everything is less distracting en.wikipedia.org

What's wrong with the code?

I find that it encourages speed reading in a way that no highlighting doesn't, meaning that minor errors that are syntactically correct but break the code aren't missed as often.

this is minimal set of things I want to distinguish in syntax highlighting
but I overall prefer less intrusive color schemers

Christ. To be so contrarian you'd even question the value of syntax highlighting. What next, are you going to question why compilers and pre-compiler code checkers even point out which line the errors they find are on?
But you didn't come up with it so it's probably not important.

free from distractions and just works

using more than 3 colors is niggerlicious

Just use Elvis

She's a woman, that's probably it.
And maybe that one could have used stateless functional components.
Jace Barnes
nothing really, she just got bitchy when people pointed out ways it could be improved, like not using an index as a key

Syntax highlight is in fact not useful at all. See Acme and Sam for example
Camden Anderson
use a proper colorscheme
Mason Gonzalez
try opening the same code in notepad and see if it's easier to navigate. that being said, if you don't go all out, syntax highlighting does help. well, for me anyway.

with that rainbow vomit - yes it fucking is. For Christ's sake - before that niggerfaggot resurrects and kills us all after seeing what you did to your color scheme - get a proper one, or just use your IDE/text editor's default one.

Fuck... I really fucking like the colors and font in your pic. Does the color scheme have a name? And how is the font called?

Syntax highlighting is useful, but obnoxious themes with 10 unique colors per line of code are not.

I program on AS400 with mono colors, once you get used to syntax highlighting you can't go back.
