Github now recognizes and highlights Stan files

[Jeffrey Arnold]

Just a heads up; as of a couple of days ago Github recognizes Stan language files and will highlight them (see https://github.com/github/linguist/pull/2809). Github uses the Ruby package linguist (https://github.com/github/linguist) for their syntax highlighting and language detection.  For the syntax highlighting itself it uses grammar for Stan that I wrote for an Atom package: https://github.com/jrnold/atom-language-stan. This means that you should also be able to get syntax highlighting in markdown files as rendered on Github.

I have been dreaming of Stan highlighting in Atom!  Thanks for putting

that together — you should advertise it on the Users’ list!

Will do, I wanted to wait until the github highlighting is live. I don't use Atom much, though it is the first editor that has tempted me to leave emacs. I mostly wrote the package because it has a grammar compatible with what linguist uses. Let me know if you find any issues with the grammar. Next time I'm bored or have some time, I'll add a linter.

This is really great. Stan is now showing up in the language statistics for rstanarm. Do you think it will also index the Stan code? Thanks for doing this!

I'm also an atom fan. I pretty much use atom or RStudio for all of my coding work.

This is incredible in the most trivial way. My life is complete. :-)

It looks like Github indexes the file types of a repo whenever you push to the master branch of that repo (https://help.github.com/articles/my-repository-is-marked-as-the-wrong-language/). So next time the master branch of stan is updated, it should be recognized. Stan also now appears as an option for language in the Github advanced search (https://github.com/search/advanced). But I don't get any results for searches yet, so I don't know what's going on.
