Looks like CodeMirror really requires the use of a bundler, see https://codemirror.net/docs/ref. I suppose WebPack could be used (see https://github.com/codemirror/codemirror5/issues/5484) and thus perhaps also https://metacpan.org/pod/Mojolicious::Plugin::Webpack.

We also need to install packages packages for certain features manually, e.g. @codemirror/view, @codemirror/lang-yaml and @codemirror/legacy-modes, @codemirror/lang-perl and @codemirror/lang-diff. Unfortunately I couldn't actually find the last two packages. Not sure where support for this went; if those languages are no longer supported this would be quite problematic.

Note that there'd be also many alternatives: https://js.libhunt.com/codemirror-alternatives
Considering that updating CodeMirror would be quite some effort as well we should consider looking into alternatives as well:

• Monaco Editor looks interesting (see https://www.npmjs.com/package/monaco-editor). It is basically what VSCode uses. It seems like a little bit too much but at least it seems directly consumable without bunder (but I haven't verified that yet) and supports all languages we need.
• Quill looks more light-weight (see https://www.npmjs.com/package/quill). It uses https://highlightjs.org as dependency and would definitely support all languages we need that way. Judging by this example no bundling is required for that.

Ok, so proof of concept for using quill or proof of concept for webpack?

I'd vote for quill because that would probably be very easy to do. One just had to follow the example from https://quilljs.com/docs/modules/syntax.

Yeah, quill looks quite nice and easy to swap in the editor setup.
