Flix Mode

Unofficial Emacs major mode for the Flix programming language.

Features:

• Syntax highlighting.
• Rudimentary indentation support (work in progress).

Installation

Download flix-mode.el and then do the following in Emacs:

M-x package-install-file [RET] /path/to/flix-mode.el [RET]

The built-in package manager in Emacs will then install the mode.

The mode is automatically loaded when you visit a .flix file.

Known limitations

• The indentation support is pretty crude and not nearly as automatic as in other major modes.
• As in many other major modes, the syntax highlighting is done via regular expressions; so strange source layout can break it.
