I would like to know what is the best IDE for elixir development?

Also see this thread: [image] Elixir Code Editors & IDEs - which one are you using? (Poll) Discussions Please see the new poll here: https://forum.elixirforum.com/t/which-code-editor-or-ide-do-you-use-poll-2022-edition/45746 It’s been a while since we first …

For Elixir (and Erlang) especially I recommend using rainbow-mode as well which colors all nested d…

I use Webstorm – it’s Elixir’s plugin has the best syntax highlighting I’ve seen.

Similar here…I use RubyMine with KronicDeth’s intellij-elixir plugin. If you are going the full-on IDE route (vs a lighter weight editor with plugins & customizations), RubyMine is hard to beat for syntax highlighting, code insights, graphical debugger, test runner, git integration with fantastic m…
