Creating custom syntax highlighting for kakoune

The missing syntax highlighter

I recently got the urge to try my hand at coding c# in my favourite modal editor Kakoune. However to my suprise I found that csharp was not one of the syntax highlighters that came with kakoune.

10 minutes later

Initially when I confirmed that this was the case I thought it would be a slog to add syntax, but following the suggestion in this ticket and just adapting the java syntax it turns out I could have syntax highlighting working very quickly.

I created a repo at https://github.com/Thomashrb/csharp.kak to keep track of it.
