It occurs to me that the fewer lexical types a language has, the less possible it is to highlight it in a pleasant way. Lisps and Forths (and most assembly languages) must look unpleasantly spare; and an encoding like Urbit's Nock would be literally monochrome.
Sure, I use emacs prelude. I think you can get the same results here if you just use prelude + the amazing theme called moe. My emacs config (which is to be used inside/ontop of prelude) is at https://github.com/escherize/prelude-dotemacs
