Itamar 4646bf4b92 LibCpp: Add SemanticSyntaxHighlighter
The SemanticSyntaxHighlighter uses TokenInfo results from the
language server to provide 'semantic' syntax highlighting, which
provides more fin-grained text spans results.

For example, the SemanticSyntaxHighlighter can color function calls,
member fields references and user-defined types in different colors.

With the simple lexer-only syntax highlighter, all of these tokens were
given the same text highlighting span type.

Since we have to provide immediate highlighting feedback to the user
after each edit and before we get the result for the language server,
we use a heuristic which computes the diff between the current tokens
and the last known tokens with compete semantic information
(We use LibDiff for this).

This heuristic is not very performant, and starts feeling sluggish with
bigger (~200 LOC) files.
A possible future improvement would be only computing the diff for
tokens in text ranges that have changes since the last commit.

About

SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.

You can watch videos of the system being developed on YouTube:
