[Github-comments] [geany/geany] RFE: please add support for Perl6 (Raku) (Issue #3054)

[Robert Di Pardo]

A Raku lexer was added to upstream Scintilla some time ago: https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/feature-requests/1328/

You'll notice that Geany includes only a curated subset of upstream lexers: https://github.com/geany/geany/tree/master/scintilla/lexilla/lexers

Getting Raku into Geany would require a PR similar to these recent examples:

- https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/2584
- https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/3012

The main difference here is that the lexer module [is already written](https://github.com/ScintillaOrg/lexilla/blob/efd741310e9bd870811ec55940d05ff8d6115ef3/lexers/LexRaku.cxx#L1); the main job would be creating a tags parser and a file definition for Raku.
