When I created my Raku programming language website with Hugo static site generator, I had to manually create the syntax highlighted html files for code examples shown in the front page, because Hugo used Chroma(written in Go and uses a mostly similar API to Pygments) for syntax highlighting which didn't support Raku. So I opened an issue on Chroma, the discussion showed that you cannot just convert the Raku lexer from Pygments to Chroma; You would need to create some functions manually, and Chroma needed a new Emitter interface which would take the LexerState as an argument, because Raku has some complex syntax; the Raku lexer in Pygments had functions for finding closing brackets matching the opening brackets, and for regex nesting in tokens, regexes and rules. In the end I realized functions for token nesting were unnecessary.
