Syntax coloring for just Justfiles

[ksandvik]

Syntax coloring for just tool Justfiles. As the files are very much the same syntax as Makefiles you could most likely use the same syntax coloring configs.

Are you sure that using Makefile syntax highlighting rules on Justfiles gives a good quality result? Have you tried? 🙂
I ask because someone has created a separate syntax definition for it, so presumably it must bring some benefits to use a dedicated syntax... https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Just

Well, it's a good starting point as most of Justfile syntax follows the Makefile syntax.

+1 to adding syntax for justfile|Justfile.
I think a dedicated syntax for Just would be better, instead of the one for Makefile.
I know the popularity of this was not clear two years ago in #2488, but it's growing quickly so hopefully you'll consider accepting the inclusion.

Also, here's a small side-by-side comparison of a justfile colored with this VS Code extension (left) and with Makefile syntax, which I think is included in Microsoft's Makefile Tools. Similar, maybe less pretty, but arguably slightly less appropriate, I'd say.
