Suggest a text editor or IDE for chapel programming language

Question

I want to write some short numerical programs in chapel. Can somebody just tell an IDE, or text editor which supports code highlighting for chapel (chapel-aware), is there an elisp-file for emacs? I don't prefer vim, even if a script for vim exists.

I tried searching, but I couldn't find anything. I neither know emacs-lisp nor am completely aware of chapel's syntax to configure it to make this chapel-aware.

Answer 1

the elisp files and .vimrc files ship along with chapel tar.gz file , so after extracting the tar.gz file in a folder chapel-version/highlight/vim or chapel-version/highlight/emacs there the vimrc or elisp files are present and in the README , instructions are also given how to add to init files ~/.emacs or ~/.vim.

Answer 2

I have just come across a plugin for the Atom Editor that does Chapel Highlighting

Answer 3

There is an Emacs mode for Chapel at MELPA. So if you are using an Emacs with package management you can just install chapel-mode.
