I actually picked up learning Spacemacs specifically for Elixir. The Alchemist mode is easily the best IDE mode for Elixir that I’ve found (after trying Atom, IntelliJ/WebStorm mainly) but I really preferred the modal editor of Vim, so Spacemacs came to the rescue.
I think I got started with this guide: Spacemacs and Alchemist to make Elixir of immortality
My biggest gripe is that Emacs is terrible at ligatures in fonts. I really want to use Firacode for the awesome ligatures that make reading Elixir so nice, but I haven’t yet found a guide that could actually get those ligatures rendering.
