I think the extremely low traction on this thread indicates that not many programmers use Evernote for note taking! If Evernote could just incorporate this one feature(language formatting like https://typora.io/ ) it may appeal to a much larger audience!
FYI, After the 7.5 update for Mac, now we cannot paste code formatted from https://tohtml.com into code block, Evernote strips off all the HTML formatting now!
I wonder if they are treating this as a new feature!!
