Research direction

Start by inspecting the existing syntax-highlighting definitions and the editor's language-detection or registration entry points. Use the linked Ballerina website and grammar repository to identify representative syntax, then compare the result with existing highlighting tests or sample files. Done means Ballerina files are recognized and their syntax is highlighted consistently with other supported languages.
