Recently, I decided to start learning Elixir. The first step in learning any language is to install the required tools. While installing elixir on a mac m1 machine, I ran into a lot of problems. This post is a quick guide on the issues I faced and how to fix them.
Elixir Language Installation on macOS MacOSX
atom-elixir and language-elixir provide the base for the actual act of authoring code.The auto-complete functionality works generally well, although there are some core quirks.Due to how Elixir compilation works, tools like atom-elixir look into the actual _buildoutput of the code to produce auto-complete and documentation services. This is really interestingto me, because it means that any editor should be able to accomplish that same task. Whetheremacs, vim, vscode, whatever is being used, it should be completely achievable to have fullauto-complete and documentation capabilities. 2ff7e9595c
