Issue Summary
The syntax highlighting does not work while viewing the Clojure file.
It works perfectly fine when editing but when viewing the file the syntax highlighting does not work.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a sample clojure(.clj) file.
- View the file in the repository source.
- We see that the syntax highlighting is not working.
Expected Results
Syntax highlighting should work while viewing the file. Currently, it works only while editing the file.
Actual Results
Syntax highlighting does not work while viewing Clojure files
I understand that Bitbucket Cloud UI uses Monaco editor for viewing files and CodeMirror editor for editing the files.
Even though the Monaco editor supports Clojure syntax, Bitbucket UI does not support it.
Monaco editor: https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/.
Workaround
Currently, there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available

[BCLOUD-20116] Syntax highlighting for .clj (clojure) files does not work correctly when viewing the file
Thanks, Brandon! That makes sense. 
Hope the complex approach during the work on 8673 will help here as well.
Hi c6425bc1fd02, we are focusing on a project now to add syntax highlighting to the (new) pull request experience. Though that project is in the early stages we expect changes to how we highlight syntax throughout the application that could/should resolve issues such as this.
Because of this we don't plan on investing on this and similar issues in the near future, but we will revisit priority here if our general syntax highlighting work doesn't address this issue (if we don't end up replacing Monaco).
Our syntax highlighting work is tracked here: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-8673
Hi there,
Guys, the issue highlights the absence of basic must-have product functionality for such kind of a product, but the priority is set to low. I don't think it's fair. Reading the code as plain text hurts the productivity of the engineers that impacts the economics of companies that use "Bitbucket" product. As I can see there's no progress on this issue almost for one year. I would be highly upset if I'd have to wait another year or more. Could you guys please increase the priority on this and speedup the resolution?
After reviewing this issue, we determined that it was low priority and unlikely to be worked on in the near future. We appreciate your input, but want to be transparent about our decision to not fix this right now.
