Hi,

Cing Garrett Lesage, I know he has been working on a number of issues
related to this recently.

Cheers,

It also seems to be alive with recent updates [2]. Turns out that Generic Syntax Highlighter (GeSHi) [3] is one of most widely used highlighters out there.

Other similar extensions I found are either beta or have limited MediaWiki version support (but maybe I have missed something).
