I’m curious if anyone has managed to get vim to have reasonable syntax highlighting for Julia. My current highlighting is as such:  
 ![vim](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/9/5/952e121f0962e63cd86bbce39a0e81c23683a448.png)

however Atom/Juno has an expanded colorspace and function recognition:

![juno](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/1/a/1a58d8ffa60ca8054bd18e0e15bd237398b7c17c.png)

I’d like to have this better highlighting in vim if possible.

This is a good to have (maybe optional). Consider an issue or pull (if vim scripting is for you) at [GitHub - JuliaEditorSupport/julia-vim: Vim support for Julia.](https://github.com/JuliaEditorSupport/julia-vim)
