We have indentation for context, the only thing this is really bringing to the table is highlighting variables of the outer context when used inside the inner context. But that only seems necessary because the example is awful code, cramming everything into the return statement. There is also an awful lot of brown there that would have been clearer with syntax highlighting, so even in this contrived example it's a mixed result.

And if syntax highlighting is training wheels and context colouring is better, does that make it your dad holding the back of the seat?
