No, the gtksourceview based editors Gedit, Aporia and NEd are really no
recommendation for Nim. Aporia was GTK2 only and has not been updated in the
last 4 years, Gedit has no Nim support at all, and NEd was written only as a
plain test for oldgtk3. And gtksourceview itself -- well no one has
Hmm turns out they want committed contributors who are willing to maintain the
.lang file. Which is honestly a fair ask, but I personally think contributing
to the Nim language server is more useful. Not sure if the gtksourceview based
editors play very well with it though.

I am skeptical too -- why should they care when people not even care to ship an
up to date file?
A never file is available here:

But it is old too, its from 2016. Was working well with GTK3 gedit
I opened an issue in their repository but I am skeptical about them using the
.lang file, considering it's gtksourceview 2, which is a little bit outdated.

Oh well, that "shouldn't" be hard? lol
yes, it can. You "just" need to get it into gedit's source code, send them a
patch.
Ubuntu's inbuilt text editor Gedit is quite good for quick coding.
I use the Python 3 highlighting for Nim but it would be good if we have one for
Nim too.
Or, is it already there?
