forgive my ignorance, but I don't know pike :)

Can you attach a couple of sample files to test the highlighting?

thanks

test pike file

Can you add a keyword, too?  It is lambda, just under the keywords heading
(like "if" and "switch") will be fine.

It seems text/x-pike and/or text/x-pikesrc are not registered mime-types in shared-mime-info.

Lance: Please, file a request for the addition of the mime type to
https://bugs.freedesktop.org, shared-mime-info product.

Lance: any news about the mime-type?

Now we support globs, so if you want to update the lang file to the 2.0 version would be great.

I am closing this for now, feel free to reopen if you attach a new file in the new format.
