Research direction
Start by reviewing the linguist repository's documentation and existing language definitions in lib/linguist/languages.yml. Look at the provided Uiua example repositories to identify syntax patterns. Since no grammar URL is given, you may need to create a simple TextMate grammar for Uiua or find one. Open a draft PR early to get feedback from maintainers.
