Syntax highlighting in Astro Nvim

Question

I installed the Astro Vim package. Syntax highlighting should work out of the box, but it doesn't. As soon as I write :setfiletype javascript highlighting works immediately.

You are likely using Nvim v0.8.0 (released 3 days ago), which introduced several breaking changes and is incompatible with AstroNvim v1.10.0 (the current stable version; refer to this discussion).

AstroNvim v2.0 was pushed to the project's nightly branch and will support the new Nvim release; however, seeing as it is currently unstable, for now your best option would be to downgrade to Nvim 0.7.2.
