There's a typo in your readme: You ask people to install SublimeLinter3, but the package is actually called "SublimeLinter" in package control.

Btw, if anyone tries to use it on Windows like I did: It almost works there, I submitted a pull request that fixes it. Writing this here so Windows devs reading this on HN don't dismiss this plugin over a few little issues.

I was looking for something like this not but a week ago! The previous ST 2 plugins for elixir don't seem to work well (or at all).

I was in the exact same situation at the exact same time. Glad to hear I wasn't the only one who was a little confused at the under-functionality (possibly just outdated?) of the current Elixir syntax package.

Ah, fantastic (hopefully), was just looking for something that improved on the current package. As long as it stops autocompleting `do` to a docstring I'll be happy.

"As long as it stops autocompleting `do` to a docstring"

This made me laugh. I could do with that change too. I'm enjoying Elixir, the language and the community, so looking forward to trying this out.

Just for curiosity, what is the "current package" you refer to? If it is something in the official one (https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir-tmbundle) please open up a bug report! :D

:) I will do that when I get back to playing around with Elixir next week; this is little lax but I think I just installed the two available elixir packages, one of which was the textmate bundle, so I'll have an investigate. I'd ended up avoiding doing anything about it by saving a snippet.

BTW, thank you for creating Elixir. It came at just about the right time for me, looking for an approachable FP language, and I started investigating it at just point it was stabilising at v1. I've been learning it for about a month or so, and the ease at which I've picked the concepts up I've found extraordinary. You've put together an extremely approachable, functional language with ace documentation, and the tooling is great so far, and improving spectacularly quickly, cheers :)

And here I was hoping for an alternative to sublime clang which only seems to work in ST2 :(

The heading does actually say for which language this is: elixir.

I can't tell what languages this is supposed to support?

This is for Elixir.

Does this support JavaScript as well?

No this is specifically for Elixir. http://elixir-lang.org/

wow, derp! the screenshot looked like Ruby to me; I assumed "Elixir" was the name of some code-intelligence plugin. Finally, well-deserved down votes, I suppose.

No, I got excited as well for a JS intellisense plugin from the title too.
