Github Syntax Highlighting #727

Hey, @Immortalin, thank you for opening the issue.

I want to add something here: as the growth rate currently stands I’m not sure we’re going to be added to the list. Technically there are no things holding us back; we have the syntax highlighting, and we opened an appropriate PR. Our community is growing pretty slowly, though, and that‘s not what GitHub wants to see (which makes sense: you want to have adoption if you‘re going to add the language to your system).

So, if you want to help with this issue, just write some code in Carp and put it online! To be clear, I‘m not advocating for people opening hundreds of "Hello World" repos, but I’d definitely encourage publishing your experiments with the language.
