GitHub Linguist: SenseTalk

1

Hello!

The more I’m using GitHub with Eggplant I’m realizing it does not have a language identifier. While I could set this in .gitattributes using “my_script linguist-language=SenseTalk” it wouldn’t make sense since Linguist has no support for the language.

I searched the Linguist repository on GitHub and, outside a brief mention of it and the XTalk family in a pull request conversation [1], SenseTalk does not appear to be part of the current build. As noted in the thread below, a language must have “sufficient usage” across GitHub to be included. There are 19 repositories (it appears) on GitHub with SenseTalk code but that may not fit the bill!

I’m not sure how much SenseTalk code needs to be committed but here’s to getting to a point where an addition to Linguist is possible!

Thanks!

We are also hoping to announce some new developments of our own in the next few weeks.

Hello,
With around 19 repositories currently, we have a bit of a hill to climb! However, if Eggplant users steadily start pushing more of their SenseTalk frameworks, test suites, and helper scripts to public GitHub repositories, we can absolutely hit that milestone.

Best Regards

That will be nice to see! I’ve since moved to Codeberg and haven’t had a chance to look into SenseTalk presence there. On my TODO list, though!
