Somewhat decent syntax highlighting for IBMi languages such as RPG, CL, DDS, MI, and RPGLE fixed/free.
Please consider downloading code-for-ibmi to edit RPG, RPGLE, and CL directly in VS Code!
Pretty much all I did was crawl through various IBM documentation on my lunch breaks and throw some regular expressions in here when I got the chance. The regex I made probably isn't too efficient and it does mess up sometimes, but I think it works for like 90% of cases I've come across.
By all means, I probably got a couple things wrong; submit a pull request or issue if you see something please! (That goes for anything in here)

RPGLE syntax last updated to Fall 2022
For each source type, I lumped legacy(system/38) source types together with the regular source types.
