Editor Syntax Highlighting

How to get syntax highlighting for .ask files

Since Ask’s syntax is quite similar to Python, the best way to get syntax highlighting at this point in time since we haven’t built any custom syntax highlighting tools/plugins is to just tell your editor to render .ask files as Python code.

We are definitely planning on building our own solution in the future, but this method works well enough for the time being.
