All recend emacsen do syntax highlighting by default.  With emacs 21 or
older, I think you need to do `M-x global-font-lock-mode RET', or put

  (global-font-lock-mode 1)

into your ~/.emacs.  But you really shouldn't use such an ancient beast.

For any lisp development I'd recommend to install SLIME [1].
