What is the IDE of choice for Erlang development? [closed]

Question

I want to get into Erlang programming, specifically some yaws stuff. (Currently, I use Eclipse for Java development.)

What is the IDE of choice for Erlang development?

Answer 1

While there are several choices of plugins for NetBeans or Eclipse, the officially recommended IDE is Erlang mode for Emacs

Answer 2

Eclipse does the job just fine for me with the Erlang plugin. If you are already familiar with that through Java development why not simply stick with that?

I have also used JEdit and it performs pretty well.

Both are pretty good at syntax highlighting and have templates for new modules (OTP etc.).

Although I agree that Emacs is the "official" editor of choice you don't have to use it (and learn a whole new editing approach) if you don't want to.

Answer 3

Emacs is the IDE of choice. It supports Distel which plugs your editor into a cluster of Erlang Virtual Machines as an Erlang node in its own right (maaan!).
