Formatting and Embedding

Okay, so I was thinking that some more formatting/embedding options would be very nice, it would take a bit of work, but be totally worth it in the end.

Formatting

• With BBCode
  

Formatting with BBCode is fine, it's just a forum after all, but I would like to see syntax highlighting for many languages like C/C++, Python, Go, JavaScript, etc. by using a specifier on the language type (maybe use PrismJS?).
Example:

Code:

[code=go] This would be syntax highlighting for Go [code/]

• With Markdown

This is something I always wanted to see on forums, the option to format with Markdown instead of BBCode. I would definitely like to see GitHub flavored Markdown, but just the normal spec version would be fine too.

Embedding

• Pastebin

Sometimes it's just easier to throw a bit of code on Pastebin, or maybe it's just already there. It would be nice to have a "pastebin" bbcode tag. If this were implemented I think they should be in spoilers.
Example:

Code:

[pastebin=http://pastebin.com/1t71AKEb]Spoiler Text[/pastebin]

• IDE One... or something like that

IDE One is an online compiler for many different languages where you can paste your code into the browser and click run, then share a link to the mini-project with friends. This is very helpful when you are trying to help someone understand your code  or you are trying to make a tutorial and was a piece of code someone can run without downloading a compiler.
Example:

Code:

[ideone=http://ideone.com/uZjnq8][/ideone]

Maybe there are other things that could be embedded? Leave thoughts and suggestions below, drop a like if you think any of this is dope.
