As you may have noticed, this project is currently rarely maintained. This is mainly because my personal and job situations have changed and I unfortunately don't have enough free time anymore to look after this project.

Generally these grammar rules are working pretty well in most cases. There are some flaws however (see open issues). Atom recently switched to a different way of syntax highlighting that doesn't require this project anymore. However, afaik there are several other projects (like VSCode and GitHub) that still use this project for Rust syntax highlighting. Maintaining a language grammar is a tedious task. Getting it 95% right is easy, but getting it totally right while still being performant is tedious.

If anybody would be interested in helping out or taking over maintenance of this project, please get in touch.
