Could the syntax files be bundled with vim?

[dbarnett]

It would be great if vim could give you basic Kotlin syntax highlighting out-of-the-box. Any interest in sending a patch to add syntax into https://github.com/vim/vim/tree/master/runtime/syntax?

Would inclusion in vim runtime be possible @udalov, or is there a reason Kotlin syntax support should only be available via plugin?

History: issue #20 was a similar request and didn't get a response.

[udalov]

Sorry for slow reaction on this topic. Indeed, this can be included in the vim runtime. I'll try it.

Has any progress been made on upstreaming the Kotlin syntax into the vim runtime?

@udalov, I've just added vim/vim#13110.

@dkearns Thank you!
