I have been diagnosed with ADHD and got an especially bad score for working memory. I find myself tired out really quickly by a lack of syntax highlighting. With syntax highlighting, I feel like I am not really reading the code anymore, but instead just registering the patterns and parsing the color tokens. I think the most important aspect for me, is that I don't spend time reading where a token starts and ends. Ex.: If I wanna check the function name, I just have to read the only yellow thing in around this area. I can register the tokens on a whole page in seconds, if the code isn't too dense.
I just tried the same with syntax highlighting disabled and would say that I took about twice as long to parse the entire page.
(I used a different, but similar file from a microcontroller HAL) |
