16 colors is juvenile. When I was a child, I was taught arithmetic using colored rods. I grew up and today I use monochromatic screens.

OT: Do you know if was he being serious, joking, or "haha only serious" in the linked message?

i think that's at least mostly serious. he's not a fan of syntax highlighting.

Most of the comments by everyone in that thread are sarcastic, and the tone of the thread is lighthearted.

Pike genuinely doesn't seem to care for syntax highlighting, though understands that his is a minority opinion.
