Description

Hi,

I don't know if ReScript qualifies as a functional language, but the absence of syntax highlighting for functions is a major pain when reading entangled code. It's a basic feature for JavaScript, F#, Reason and other extensions.

With Bluloco theme:

Related to #105 (from 2021).

Cheers,
Laurent
