JS libs like Highlight.js and Prisma.js can be ran server side and then you send the HTML/CSS like normal.

Generally you'd want to pre-render blogs so syntax highlighting should be compiled HTML/CSS during the build process.

CF workers and other edge computing work great if you have dynamic content if you don't want the client to use JS.

For non-readonly, Monaco and Codemirror are available but heavier ofc.

Anyone else know of another perf syntax highlighting lib? I like collecting tech.
