Description Rubén 2014-10-31 08:24:02 UTC

There's a new language that reached 1.0 called Elixir ( http://elixir-lang.org/ ). Looks like it's already quite popular. At least I plan to use it a lot. They have plenty of support for other editors as you can see in the bottom right of their website. It's syntax is simpler than Ruby's, but quite similar.

I have been coding Elixir with a slightly modified Ruby syntax file, hacked only the bare minimum needed to get a working syntax. I have not the expertise to get it done fast, and have also no time to a slow process of try/error to earn that expertise. 

The syntax file I am using is this https://gist.github.com/rubencaro/7158f8c2ccd33f568504 , but I am afraid you cannot use it anyway to get it done right, because it's just a crappy hack.

It would be great to have support for Elixir.

Thanks.

Reproducible: Always

Hi,

if you want to submit the file, if it works well enough, even if not perfect, we would accept it. Otherwise this is a won't fix, as nobody will step up to do this.

Kate already has an elixir.xml syntax highlighting file, see https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/127041/
This review request even links to this bug report, so I will close it for now.

If you want, you can update the existing xml file to improve it.
