I'm not even sure about the state of this in other editors: Emacs allows syntax highlighting of different languages to be used correctly in nested regions. For example in org-mode you can have source blocks of any other language and you can see them syntax highlighted correctly. Maybe some other editors manage this for markdown's tripple backtick syntax, but do they add syntax highlighting of various mainstream languages to their markdown "modes", or do they actually have that use their separate "mode" for that language, possibly recursively?

Would be great, if anyone could comment on that. I think Emacs using Elisp has natural potential to do it recursively and therefore easily correctly, instead of cramming other modes with syntax, that does not belong there.
