I wrote a syntax highlighter in PHP
I tell you the story about why and how I wrote a package called tempest/highlight (https://github.com/tempestphp/highlight). A fast and extensible code highlighter for the web and terminal, written in PHP.
When I was running into problems with existing highlighters, I figured: how hard can it be to format some text?
This is an inspirational talk to highlight what can be accomplished with PHP, when you dare to think outside the box.
