   Pascal is already supported in CodeMirror, so you could make a PR to add it to Brackets, by adding it to this file: https://github.com/adobe/brackets/blob/master/src/language/languages.json

   @peterflynn, @TomMalbran, do you guys think it should be included in Brackets core? CM also has Cobol syntax highlighting, why discriminate? :) I thought it should be an extension which is what I recommended.

   I guess starter bug label may be confusing -- it invites to submit a PR to core.

   Pascal and Cobol are not web technologies, so I think these should not be in core.

   I am ok with either option.

   An issue with being an extension is that it might not be obvious for first time users that it can be one.

   I do agree with Randy -- Brackets should keep focus on web.

   I am going to go ahead and close the PR asking to create an extension for Pascal support. And will remove the starter bug from this issue -- extension idea is sufficient to describe how it should be handled (and this issue is the only instance that has both).
