+- **revision 8:** fancy syntax highlighting
+
+    - over the past few months the treehouse has been receiving a bunch more syntax highlighters
+
+    - there are now syntaxes for [Lua][branch:01HTAQ23YHXTEZ7WNVZREZ8WSZ], [Rust][branch:01HTWRAS0EHFG2V4N6NCR403C5], [JSON][branch:01HRT0W4AKQJEAMJ8XHJVMY4ZV], and [C][branch:01HY5R1ZW5R3808RNG6RAPC8H4]!
+
+        + C++ probably coming soon™, but with its much more complex syntax it's likely the highlighting isn't gonna be as nice
+
+            - and I'm only mentioning it because there are some C++ code snippets in the treehouse, and it would be _really_ nice if they finally started being highlighted
+
+    - what's cool is that all the syntax highlighters work even if you have JavaScript disabled.
+    which I wouldn't recommend, but it's nice.
+    because you absolutely do _not_ need to embed a heavyweight JavaScript library for this
+
+        - and it enhances the responsiveness!
+        you don't need to _wait_ for code to be highlighted.
+
+    - I was also told there's a secret now?
+    like, no clue what they mean by that but cool?
