Comments on: Erlang Mode for Emacs http://bob.pythonmac.org/archives/2007/03/14/erlang-mode-for-emacs/ Bob's Rants Fri, 05 Sep 2008 21:31:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Austin Seipp http://bob.pythonmac.org/archives/2007/03/14/erlang-mode-for-emacs/#comment-7788 Austin Seipp Thu, 15 Mar 2007 17:37:56 +0000 http://bob.pythonmac.org/?p=218#comment-7788 The Erlang mode for Emacs is kick ass (I admit with a full heart that on Linux, Emacs is the *only* editor I use. You can sue me now.) A lot of the things it does for you are really intuitive such as automatically starting new case/function definitions when you define a function twice or have several cases in a case statement. It's easily one of the best 3rd party Emacs modes I've ever used (when there's a Haskell mode to match it, I'll be in heaven.) I bet everybody in the blogosphere thinks I'm a total freak now.

I don't even like Emacs, I only like the Erlang mode. What I have is stuff I found somewhere else. Except for the (defvar inferior-erlang-prompt-timeout t), which I figured out by reading the source to erlang.el. And I only went through that effort after months of the timeout pissing me off.
