Add LanguageGood First Issue

Description

I am not sure how the ambiguity between Google Script and goboscript will be resolved. If linguist is able to resolve ambiguity based on the presence of syntax or files, then here are a few suggestions:

  • Directory contains a goboscript.toml file.
  • File contains the syntax costumes, onflag or %include.

Language name

goboscript (g should not be capitalized)

URL of example repository

Research direction
To implement, first read the linguist contribution guide for adding a language. Create a new entry in lib/linguist/languages.yml for goboscript with the .gs extension. Then add heuristics to detect goboscript based on the presence of goboscript.toml or syntax patterns like 'costumes' or 'onflag'. Test with the provided example repository.
