Yes please, send that our way. But beware that the "logo" is really the language logo, not the "compiler" logo. Not sure Algol68 has many concurrent compilers and logos, but that's usually what we're trying to do.

As for the syntax, it seems that we would need a kind of conversion, as the "monaco" editor doesn't use the json "as-is", but we feed it something that has the same shape, more or less... See the existing modes: https://github.com/compiler-explorer/compiler-explorer/tree/main/static/modes

If you have any idea how to adapt this "vs code" thing to monaco, feel free to tell me :)
