textfriend is a first stab at creating a TextMate syntax highlight engine.
It's not perfect (yet) as it doesn't color quite the same as SublimeText. It's also not been optimised in ANY way - so it's not that brisk yet either. On the plus side as TextMate grammars pull out higher level entities e.g. function definitions/calls we can use it to implement a resonable C & C++ version of ctags.
Not sure why it's not quite acurate yet - any ideas would be welcome.
