Consider registering the Slint language in Linguist (adds syntax highlighting and language detection on GitHub)

[spenserblack]

Based on a quick search, it looks like the Slint language (.slint files) has enough usage to meet the requirements to be added to linguist. Linguist is the tool that GitHub uses to detect the languages used in a repository, and vendors the syntax highlighter for that language. Additionally, the data from linguist eventually makes its way over to go-enry, which GitHub's search uses.

I look forward to add Slint to linguist, but according to github-linguist/linguist#5756 , the threshold is 2000 files, and the search link you provide show only 1.6k files at the moment.
But we're getting there soon.

Oops, I misremembered the threshold 😅
Thanks for finding the real threshold!

I happened to stumble on your PR (github-linguist/linguist#6750), so I'm closing this discussion as resolved 🙂
