Please reach out to the Azure DevOps team and work with them to add syntax highlighting for AL in Azure DevOps. Today all AL code there is just shown as plain text. This is inefficient because all pull request reviews and all other code investigation are a lot slower to do without.
The platform does support syntax highlighting out of the box for example for C#, JavaScript, PowerShell, ... and it is comparatively easier to handle these languages there because of it.

Since Microsoft is advertising the use of Azure DevOps for AL development that would be much appreciated value added.

Would also be good if AL was available as a language in the standard .gitignore start up of a new repo.
