Research direction
To add Blueprint support, create a new submodule or grammar file in the grammars/ directory of linguist. Follow the pattern of existing languages, adding a tests fixture and sample .blp files. Reference the example repository (Bottles) and Blueprint compiler documentation for syntax rules. Ensure you add the language to the languages.yml file with the correct extensions and color.
