did not really find clues there that help me. found this interesting:

which lead me to this:

from which I gather that (at least on windows) the only option for installing would be to use developer mode and use the unpacked version.

Switching to the dev channel probably isn't terrible... you could also just install the plugin from the web store. That said, so far there is no new release for v3 of Exercism so there is currently no reason to use the plugin at all. I've been pretty happy with v3 so far and haven't found the need to start patching it - and it's technically also going to be much more difficult now thanks to all the use of React/Hotwire.

Was there a specific reason you were wanting to install?

yes, sure it should not be a big deal to use developer mode, I will test it and report back.

lack of highlighting for Nim in Stack Overflow came up again (here) and I linked this:

https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/355491/add-syntax-highlighting-support-for-nim

there I found your comment about this extension (did not know it was used in relation to exercism) and wanted to try it out :)

OH, I was getting this confused with my Exercism plugin, LOL.... sorry. I should probably bump HLJS and release a new version of this.
