It took a couple of days 10+ years ago to see what the fuss is about (I was an avid “christmas-lighter” before), and I never came back.

This is a pretty awful post, the problem is his example uses a horrible syntax highlighting scheme that makes use of far too few colours and no other text decorations.

In a competent highlighting scheme, you have enough differentiation that every distinct type of thing indeed has a different way it pops.
