Color Syntax

Color syntax would be a nice addition to this tool. People would still primarily view code in their editors, so it's not that crucial, but it would certainly be nice.

Does anybody know of a good lightweight color-syntax library that runs natively in CS/JS? I'm a big fan of pygments, but I don't want to introduce a Python dependency to this project, if I can avoid it.

Thinking outside the box, what would really be most helpful for this tool is to visually map CS code to JS code. For example, it would be nice if variable names were the same color in the CS panel as the JS panel, and you could arbitrarily assign colors to variable names.

Matching up functions and variable names would be nice. You could just have a list of colours and loop/circle through them. The list could be pretty long so even if they get used twice odds are it'll be much later in the script.

@briannesbitt I'm really leaning toward the loop-thru-colors approach. Good to get a +1 on that.
