VIM Color Syntax Highlighting for Pig

I joined the Yahoo! Research Engineering group a few weeks ago, and I was literally blown away with the possibilities that Hadoop and Pig open for me. Immediately, I wanted to hack up something good to say thank you to all smart people that build and support such a great software.

I am convinced that Pig deserves more respect from the major text editors, so I wrote a small vim script that adds syntax highlighting for Pig files.

You can download it from vm.org site.

To install, follow instructions on the web page, and don't forget to vote! :-)

Emacs version is coming up soon (yes, I use both vim *and* emacs). It will be my project for the upcoming Yahoo! Hack Day.
