Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked lark.vim script and compare it with this repository's existing syntax definitions. Clarify whether the goal is to add Vim support here or simply share the external script; the work is done when the intended Vim syntax definition is clearly integrated or the issue's scope is resolved.

Description

Just writing a note to let you know I threw together a very basic syntax highlighting script for vim, since that is the editor I use

https://github.com/jisaacstone/lark.vim

Doesn't have the fancy regex highlighting, but better'n nothing. Hopefully someone else can find it useful
