If you want to use zsh-syntax-highlighting along with this script, then make sure that you load it before you load this script:

% source zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh
% source zsh-history-substring-search.zsh

Why must zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh be sourced at the end of the .zshrc file?

zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh wraps ZLE widgets. It must be sourced after all custom widgets have been created (i.e., after all zle -N calls and after running compinit). Widgets created later will work, but will not update the syntax highlighting.

We went with zdharma/fast-syntax-highlighting instead (07d9fe0), but it's set up in the same order suggested above and seems to work.
