Would you agree that Ruby shouldn't lack for a syntax highlighting library 
as good as any that exists for other dynamic languages? I do. But as it 
stands Ruby lags well behind Python's Pygments (http://pygments.org/). This 
should not stand!

Ruby has a pretty good library in CodeRay (http://coderay.rubychan.de/) but 
to catch up it needs to support many more formats.

So I want to encourage all Ruby developers to carve out a bit of time to 
create a CodeRay scanner script for an as-of-yet unsupported format. Have a 
look at http://odd-eyed-code.org/versions/show/15 for some suggestions and 
have a look at 
https://github.com/rubychan/coderay/tree/master/lib/coderay/scanners for 
reference on how it's done.

(NOTE: I have no direct affiliation with the CodeRay project. I just want 
to see Ruby have a top-notch syntax highlighting library.)
