+" Vim syntax file
+" Language:	Zserio
+" Maintainer:	Dominique Pellé <dominique.pelle@gmail.com>
+" Last Change:	2023 Jun 18
+"
+" Zserio is a serialization schema language for modeling binary
+" data types, bitstreams or file formats. Based on the zserio
+" language it is possible to automatically generate encoders and
+" decoders for a given schema in various target languages
+" (e.g. Java, C++, Python).
+"
+" Zserio is an evolution of the DataScript language.
