Moonfly Theme for Visual Studio Code

An effort to port the moonfly theme created by bluz71 for Neovim and Vim.

Moonfly is a dark charcoal theme with carefully chosen, vibrant syntax highlighting that's easy on the eyes during long coding sessions.

This project was mostly made with generative AI, so please don't take this port seriously. I don't want to diminish the original theme's efforts. Any additions or comments are very welcome!
