Clio programming language support

I was trying to write a backend server in Clio.

@PoolloverNathan Replit uses Nix, so someone has to make a Clio Nix package (which doesn’t exist). And sadly, Replit is not making templates anymore.
And I highly doubt Replit will even bother with making a language server and add highlighting for an unknow language.

To summarize, you can’t use Clio in Replit.
So just go back to VSCode.

I made a basic clio template here https://replit.com/@JustCoding123/Clio, but there is no syntax highlighting since the language is not supported by the Replit IDE.
