Anyone have any clue why this file is properly syntax-aware:

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/blob/master/src/rt/lifetime.d

but this file isn't

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/blob/master/src/core/thread.d

I'm still not familiar at all with git or github...

Well I found this, but it says the bug was fixed:

I don't know, but I've had vim decide that .d files shouldn't be syntax highlighted as D files (and IIRC that's actually somewhat extension-based, so that's just downright weird). Maybe github is having similar issues where it just decides for some reason that a particular file isn't of a particular type an so isn't syntax highlighted. Certainly, I don't see any obvious reason why they're not both properly syntax highlighted.

I'm going to guess it's filesize.  Totally a guess, but consider that adding highlighting costs additional markup.  The file that's not highlighted is over 100k, the file that is is only(!) 62k.

LOL. It won't even _show_ std.datetime. You may be on to something there.

If github even won't show the file you clearly has too much in one file. More than 34k lines of code (looking at the latest svn), are you kidding me. That's insane, std.datetimem should clearly be a package. I don't know why Andrei and Walter keeps insisting on having so much code in one file

It takes about 10 seconds to get syntax highlighting at the bottom of the file in TextMate.

Takes half a second in Scite, and in Vim I'm not noticing any delays. Incidentally I think I've seen the longest line count per file in Vim's codebase (close to 100k if my memory serves me right).

I would guess it takes 10 seconds because it processes the file as a whole. I would guess vim doesn't do that, but I don't know.

I haven't thought of that! Actually Vim's syntax highlighting 'algorithm' is customizable. You can set it up to try highlighting the entire file, or it can do some magic and scan backwards N lines to figure out how to highlight the entire screen. Afaik the D syntax highlighting script doesn't scan the entire file at once, which probably explains the speed. :)

Yep, Vim's highlighting is set up to sync on comments, though there is more it could do, this does a pretty good job.
