Correct and improve Julia definitions

[ararslan]

The Julia definitions here are partially incorrect (we've never had a super keyword, for example) and very out of date.

Still to do:

• Add more Base types to TYPES
• Recognize short form function definitions (e.g. f(x) = ...)
• Fix module prefixed function definitions (e.g. function A.f(...))
• Highlight macro name definitions like functions
• Recognize postfix ' adjoint as an operator

Possible:

• Highlight function and macro calls by context

Thanks for this @ararslan. Will you have time to come back to it in the near future?

[ararslan]

Hm, not likely, unfortunately. If this looks okay as-is, perhaps it could be merged and I (or others) could address the other points I laid out in separate PRs?

[dblessing]

@ararslan Sure. I checked there are no errors when viewing the sample. So long as all the keywords/things you removed were never available in Julia (I don't want to create a regression for Julia highlighting)

[ararslan]

Yep, I pruned out the stuff that was incorrect or didn't make sense as previously defined.

[ararslan]

Thanks for the review! This will improve the Julia highlighting situation on GitLab. :)

[ararslan]

I've opened #934 to track the remaining items. Thanks again!

@dblessing, do you know how often changes to Rouge are reflected in GitLab? Is it tied to specific versions of GitLab? My company uses Julia heavily on GitLab, so I'm looking forward to seeing these changes go live. 🙂

[dblessing]

I plan to release Rouge in the next few weeks. Then I will submit a merge request to GitLab to update the version. So it should be available on GitLab.com in early July and released in 11.1 on July 22.

Is this going to be included in a new tagged version anytime soon? I would really love to use it. Or is there any way one can use master in a Gemfile?

Edit: maybe this.

[dblessing]

Yes @lostella. Quite soon.
