SUMMARY

Squirrel (http://squirrel-lang.org/) is an embedded language.

Notable uses:
- Valve's vscript (https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Squirrel)
- Gaijin's quirrel (https://quirrel.io/doc/diff_from_original.html) - has different grammar !
- Electric Imp (https://developer.electricimp.com/squirrel)

There are several extensions for other editors, like:
- VScode (https://bitbucket.org/marcinbar91/vscode-squirrel/src/master/) - there's more but that's more up to date
- Sublime (https://github.com/Enduriel/Sublime-Squirrel) - don't know about its state

Hi,

as long as nobody contributes a highlighting, nothing will happen.

You already pointed to soms description, perhaps you can give it some try.

We have good documentation on

https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/syntax-highlighting/-/blob/master/README.md

to get somebody started. Beside this, one can always reach out on the channels described on
