I can't say much about the language itself, but it seems to give reasonable results with the provided sample. See below for a couple comments.

In data/filedefs/filetypes.HCL.conf:

There is neither variable nor output, yet those look like keywords in the simple.ft test file, aren't they?

Hum… sounds like a hack :) I would suggest giving [styling=HTML] and lexer_filetype=Zephir a try. It looks a bit weird with the default colors because for some reasons strings are getting green, but Zephir being basically PHP it has all of #, // and /* */ comments builtin. Just a suggestion, the hack here seems to work.

An explanation of the relation to the comment hack would be welcome here
