+currently supported are:
+- [x] vim
+- [ ] emacs
+- [ ] vscode

+### Vim Setup
+to setup syntax highlighting, copy the `lumina.vim` file to the location `~/.vim/syntax/lumina.vim`, and then add the following line to your `vimrc` file:
+```vimrc
+au BufRead,BufNewFile *.lumina set filetype=lumina
+```
 ## Standard Library
 The standard library is currently very prone to changes, therefore, it may take a while to create good documentation for it, if you want to see the functions that are defined currently, you can see them in the `std` directory. To use those functions, you will need to use `import` with a local path to the corresponding file in `std`.
