February 2022 update

Syntax highlighting for DSL expressions
We have observed our users taking advantage of the flexibility of our signal DSL to create ever more advanced DSL expressions to transform their data. A common pain point is that when creating complicated DSL expressions, they are difficult to read and edit. To address this, we have added syntax highlighting and bracket-pair colouring to the signal expression editor in Signal Explorer.
