Exception to "no copy-paste" rule for superset languages?

[fnands]

Hi,

I want to start creating a Rouge lexer for Mojo.

Mojo aims to be a superset of Python, so valid Python code (should be, not all of it is yet) valid Mojo code.

So does anyone object to me doing a copy-paste job in this case?

You can inherit the Python lexer and add additional rules.

Oh yeah great, that makes a lot more sense.
Will do it that way then. Thx!
