I'm a big fan of Web (particularly spiderweb). It is great for printed
programs. While typing programs however, it isn't so great.


My solution is to use Lucid Emacs 19.3, which comes with highlighting code
that will highlight comments and code (and strings) differently, as you
type.


Quite handy!
