## API

### `guessProgrammingLanguage(value)`

Returns a `Promise` instance that resolves to the programming language name (lower case) if a match is found or `null` if no match is found.

#### `value`

Type: `String`

Value for the programming language to guess.


## Why

- [highlight.js][highlight.js] is great and its guessing mechanism is good enough for most cases I needed it for
- Most libraries I've tried either have confusing APIs or require Node.js C bindings that fails to build when npm installing it

## Gotchas

- If you're looking for something super precise this is not it
- This library currently only works in Node.js, feel free to send a PR if you want to add browser support
