Syntax highlighting for Sublime Text 3?
Is it really the case that the only syntax highlighting available is for only Sublime Text 2? Or is there a package somewhere that I’ve missed?

Hi,
there should be a package called Elixir for Sublime Text 3. This also provides syntax highlighting (but you have to restart Sublime Text afterwards in order for it to take effect).

If you know emacs then try Spacemacs, it uses the afore-mentioned alchemist and works awesomely as well. Atom might be more traditional if you prefer sublime-like things.

FWIW, this motivated me to finally compare Atom–I liked it better within minutes, and after a couple of days see no reason to try to get back to Sublime. (Of course, I’m talking about Sublime Text 2 since I haven’t been able to get syntax highlighting to work in ST3.) Maybe week after I’ll give emacs a try…

I just found this: https://github.com/edelvalle/SuperElixir which claims to do syntax completion and whatnot. It requires the basic ST3 Elixir package though.
After using Atom for a year, I switched back to ST3 as I lost a lot of productivity due mainly to Atom’s feature-richness and being “npm-like” (I recall more than one whole working day sunk into Atom breaking due to a package updating and me trying to figure out what went wrong). Plus there were tons of little bugs with Atom that I had to install yet more packages to compensate for. Ive had virtually zero productivity loss with ST3 (or ST2 back in the day). Atom is a wonderful idea in theory, and yea CSS to handle customizing syntax is really awesome (Sublime’s TM-theme (xml?) is unwieldy and non intuitive, but I hear the new JSON version is nice).
