This will get you the bleeding-edge syntax highlighting for Lisp. Which means your theme will be able to color your code better.
NOTE! Disable the bracket-pair-colorizer for best effects. Do this by adding the following to your settings.json.
"[lisp]": {
"editor.bracketPairColorization.enabled": false,
},
NOTE: The default VS Code theme does not color much. Switch to the Dark+ theme (installed by default) or use a theme like one of the following to benefit from the changes:
- XD Theme
- Noctis
- Kary Pro Colors
- Material Theme
- One Monokai Theme
- Winteriscoming
- Popping and Locking
- Syntax Highlight Theme
- Default Theme Enhanced
Just install the VS Code extension and the changes will automatically be applied to all relevent files.

If you'd like to help improve the syntax, take a look at main/main.rb. And make sure to take a look at CONTRIBUTING.md to get a better idea of how code works.
