highlight.js is JavaScript.

Example for Pascal:

https://github.com/highlightjs/highlight.js/blob/main/src/languages/delphi.js

NetBeans and jEdit are Java not JavaScript. Emacs is probably Lisp.

VSCode is probably JavaScript - could be worth taking a look at.

But I don't think the code is that difficult - it is more the
context with npm, packaging, relationship with the CSS etc..
