35 years here. 2/3rds of that without any syntax highlighting. My brain is a pretty good parser and I don't like visual distraction. Can you imagine if books had colored syntax highlighting?

I have not embraced some syntax highlighting but with a very subtle color scheme. I tried LSP for a moment but the performance was such that it was a net negative.

I allocate a week over the holiday for "tooling refactors" and I'll probably kick the tires of emacs 29. The big refactor is building a new rig.
