We need to build a huge registry of various languages, and we cannot hope to add each and every one of them by hand.

Tier 1

• tokei/languages.json
• linguist/lib/linguist/*.yml
• go-enry/data/*.go

Tier 2

• devicon/devicon.json
• nerd-fonts/glyphnames.json

Tier 3

• helix/languages.toml
• neovim/runtime/lua/vim/filetype.lua
• Comment.nvim/lua/Comment/ft.lua

Language data structure per repo (WIP)

tokei/languages.json

• key name: PascalCase
• data format: Json
• extension format: no dots

  "languages": {
  <Key>: {
      "line_comment": [<"//">],
      "multi_line_comments": [[<"/*">, <"*/">]],
      "quotes": [[<"\\\">, <"\\\">]],
      "extensions": [<".ext">]
    },
  }

linguist/lib/linguist/*.yml

• key name: : Pascal Case,PascalCase, KEBAB-CASE Mixed
• data format: Yaml
• extension format: dots

  <Key>:
  type: <programming>
  extensions:
  - <".ext">
  extension.go

go-enry/data/*.go

• key name: List Number
• data format: Golang struct
• extension format: dots

  <idx>: LanguageInfo{
      Name:   <"C++">,
      Type:   TypeForString("programming"),
      Aliases: []string{
          "cpp",
      },
      Extensions: []string{
                      <".ext">,
      },
  },

devicon/devicon.json

• key name: lowercase
• data format: Json
• extension format: N/A

helix/languages.toml

• key name: lower_snake_case
• data format: Toml
• extension format: no dots

neovim/runtime/lua/vim/filetype.lua

• key name: lower_snake_case, UPPERCASE Mixed
• data format: Lua Table?
• extension format: dots

Comment.nvim/lua/Comment/ft.lua

• key name: lowercase
• data format: Lua Table
• extension format: N/A

• "Proper noun" is ambiguous.
• Write "name" part in its own case can be a good example
  • e.g. lowercase, snake_case, UPPERCASE, KEBAB-CASE, PascalCase, camelCase
• Whether symbols are written in literal or acronym or special character is missing
  • e.g. cplusplus vs cpp vs c++
• "format" is redundant from provided links' file extension.
  • If it's using a programming language instead of data format, include the name of the variable that holds this information so that we can source it.
• Data structure schema is missing
• Extension format is missing
  • e.g. .cpp vs cpp, whether to include leading .

The reason we are doing this research is to write a converter that can convert all of above resources into our own format. The provided information is not enough to write such converter.
