Hey there! Thanks for reaching out. Writing a code editor with syntax highlighting in a browser can be a little tricky, but it's definitely doable. One resource that might be helpful is the Ace Editor library (https://ace.c9.io/). It's a lightweight but powerful editor that includes syntax highlighting for a huge range of languages. You could also check out CodeMirror (https://codemirror.net/), which is another popular library for building web-based code editors. Good luck, and let us know how it goes!

I'm curious about how to write a code editing window with syntax highlighting in a browser. Something like repl.it although obviously much simpler. I've searched around for tutorials/examples but I haven't found much. Does anyone have good resources for this?
