Linguist: hy language syntax highlighting is missing

[philiparvidsson]

although the language hy (https://github.com/hylang/hy) is detected properly, it is not highlighted. this is a request to add highlighting for the language. keywords etc can be found here

I recently removed the Hy grammar in #3411 from Linguist because the author deleted his repository. If you know any other grammar for Hy (as an Atom/Sublime Text/Textmate package), we'd welcome a pull request!

Hi, @pchaigno. I've created the universal tool for generating Hy syntax highlighting for any such a tool recently: https://github.com/hylang/hyghlight

There are two repositories I have already made PRs into:

1. https://github.com/isagalaev/highlight.js/pull/1382 (merged)
2. https://github.com/jneen/rouge/pull/623 (waits to be merged)

If any other repository is needed to be fulfilled with Hy syntax, please tell me.

Thank you.

Hey @profitware, thanks for the recommendation!

Are you able to generate a TextMate-compatible grammar for Hy? If not, I can probably whip one up from Highlight.js's output.

@Alhadis it would be nice of you to do that as I have got not much time to learn grammar description syntax. PR into https://github.com/hylang/hyghlight would be also appreciated. Thank you.
