Syntax highlighting
It's my understanding that current version of etherpad doesn't support code syntax highlighting of any sort since all plugins that historically were able to do that are now deprecated.
Is there any plan or roadmap to add such essential feature?
Currently not. It would be definetely cool but the code base especially the frontend isn't easy to understand.
@SamTV12345 May i give it a try ? is it better to implement it with a plugin or not ? maybe i should understand the plugin system first

Sure maybe try it as a plugin first and if it's really well implemented we can add it as a native plugin in Etherpad. You can find more about development here https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/wiki/Creating-a-plugin
