Could someone knowledgeable in these matters list all the possible options? I understand there is julia-snail, julia-ts-mode, … But how do they fit together? What is hot and what is not? Many thanks!

This might help you understand what choices you have. I tried to summarize this thread’s contents visually, and I added a little extra info for julia-snail and eglot since I had a little extra knowledge on those topics that I haven’t posted in this thread. [image] You can input the following cod…

Maybe a good start here? [image] Current emacs recommendations? Tooling For some reason I don’t understand, I thought I might try out emacs again 16 years after I decided I hate it. I like using hot keys and shortcuts more now, so maybe that’s it. When I looked at the em…

This is a good illustration of my point. Several things are mentioned in that thread, with very little indication on how they fit together. GitHub - JuliaEditorSupport/julia-emacs: Julia support in Emacs. sounds like the “official” (endorsed?) way of using Julia with Emacs, and curiously there is n…

I would suggest using julia-mode, instead of julia-ts-mode. The julia-ts-mode relies on Julia’s tree-sitter grammar which is not mature enough, in my opinion. Julia-snail is good and it also provides completion for the juila code, and it also provides elementary org-babel support. If you like to de…

At a basic level, emacs is just a text editor. julia-mode is the major mode for editing julia files, this mainly means syntax highlighting. julia-ts-mode is a replacement for that, which uses a tree sitter grammar rather than regex for parsing and syntax highlighting. So far there are no “interacti…

Using julia-snail and multiple REPLs One feature that I really like about julia-snail is its ability to run more than one Julia REPL at a time. To make this work, you have to add a .dir-locals.el file (which I leave out of version control) that tells julia-snail what port to use to communicate with…

[image] linwaytin: I also recommend julia-vterm and its sibling ob-julia-vterm I had no idea those existed. At a quick glance, it looks like it improves the org-mode experience for Julia code blocks significantly. I will definitely be trying these out. [image] GitHub - shg/ob…

If you’re brand new to Emacs, I would start with just julia-mode (i.e. julia-emacs), while working in the REPL, while you’re getting comfortable. If you configure JULIA_EDITOR to emacs-client, then @edit and Ctrl-q works great in the REPL.

Thanks! I just mostly want to find out what the path forward is. Does one go with julia-mode + julia-repl-mode? Or julia-snail? Or julia-ts-mode? And where does lsp-mode come into it? Is it compatible with all the preceding? Edit: And, there is also ESS-Julia, and eglot… Edit 2: Further, there is…

[image] PetrKryslUCSD: I just mostly want to find out what the path forward is. Everyone is going to have a different preference, but my own is: Syntax: julia-mode I’ve heard julia-ts-mode can crash Emacs, and that’s unacceptable to me. Maybe its bugs have been cleaned up, but I’ll let s…

julia-snail also has lightweight code completion and navigation features without the heavy LSP dependence. For example, there are shortcuts Ctrl-Alt-i for completion and Alt-. for finding definition.
