Farsi Wikipedia has skilled software engineers that can debug the code for RTL languages. I think we can make that codes of syntax highlighting consistent with RTL languages.

Sorry for the delay! This is technically not stalled anymore. If Farsi Wikipedia wants CodeMirror 6, we can enable it now. It is already available with the "Improved Syntax Highlighting" beta feature. Getting more pilot wikis to adopt CodeMIrror 6 (without the beta feature) is most welcomed. We have already done this for Hebrew Wikipedia and we have not heard of any issues or complaints.
