[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Adding native support for the Gibiane language (http://www-cast3m.cea.fr) (#2246)

[elextr]

I have a question, what do you think you will gain by having this in the Geany core, given that (AFAIK) none of the normal contributors normally have access to the toolset for the language, so we will not be able to support it much.  So you will be maintaining it yourself anyway.

And given that it likely adds work for the Geany community of volunteers, what do they get out of it?

And given that it adds more code to everybodys copy of Geany, what do they get out of it?

On a practical note, as @codebrainz said on the mailing list, it is policy to have Scintilla lexers and ctags parsers added upstream first, Geany does not support its own copies (except historical ones).  So you need to submit those parts upstream.
