Dart syntax highlighting

[m-bdf]

Describe the bug you encountered:

Running bat test.dart with test.dart containing

return Object(
  Object(
    // Not highlighted as a comment
  )
)

does not highlight the third line as a comment (e.g. the as is highlighted as a keyword).

What did you expect to happen instead?

I expected the third line to be highlighted as a comment.

The Dart plugin currently used by bat hasn't been updated in a while (guillermooo/dart-sublime-bundle#586), so it might actually be time to find a new more complete and better maintained one, but I don't have much time to dive into it myself unfortunately.

How did you install bat?

With the Nix package manager under NixOS.
