"When users are expected to rapidly read and understand prose text, use black text on a plain, high-contrast, non-patterned background." That is what I said. If you read a lot of text then dark on light works better. This is not the case if the text is colored which it is when syntax highlighting is used. A lot of colors typically used within highlighting build a weaker contrast with white then they do with dark background. I don't have the papers at hand. I try to find those references again.
