I just joined steemit and really looking forward posting about programming. I write apps in React for my day job, so got even more excited when I saw that steemit was written in React.  I was looking to make a post about Javascript when I noticed none of my code was syntax highlighted. For example:

```javascript
const isFavoriteColor = ({ color }) => color ===  'green';
```

This code just looks boring. Imagine instead if we could have code that looked like this:

I thought this would be a very useful feature for any programmer on this site. So I went to the github to make an issue discussing it. But after checking the [contributing guide](https://github.com/steemit/condenser/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#enhancement-suggestions), I found this:

> Do not use the issue tracker to suggest enhancements or improvements to the platform. The best place for these discussions is on Steemit.com. If there is a well vetted idea that has the support of the community that you feel should be considered by the development team, please email it to sneak@steemit.com for review.

So I figured this would make a great topic for a first post.

So would you like to see syntax highlighting added to steemit? Any specific features or languages you'd like to make sure are supported? If the community wants this I am happy to make the contribution.
