Heh. I think you have the absolute opposite viewpoint from Rob Pike, who said of syntax highlighting [1]:

> When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.

I'm with you! That sounds awesome. I enjoy not only syntax highlighting but also type annotations and doc references on hover. I'd love to see even richer and more interactive stuff.
