Description

This layer adds support for Julia to Spacemacs.

Features:

• Syntax highlighting
• Repl support
• Linting
• Completion
• Jump-to-definition
• Documentation on hover

Install

To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to add julia to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this file.

LSP

This layer can be used with LanguageServer.jl and Emacs lsp-mode to provide richer, IDE-like capabilities. To use this layer with lsp, you must do the following:

1. LanguageServer.jl should be configured automatically, if not, see the documentation of lsp-julia.
2. define the layer variable julia-backend to lsp in your dotfile

To enable language server functionality with this layer, follow the instructions for installation, and then install this layer with:

  (setq-default
   dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
   '(
     (julia :variables julia-mode-enable-lsp t)))

LanguageServer.jl tends to have a very long startup time. In the worst case, lsp-mode might give up on the language server before its started, but regardless usage of lsp-mode with Julia can cause long delays when first opening files.

Options

While julia-mode is perfectly usable without configuration or other packages, you can choose to replace the default functionality of using julia-repl as the layer's interactive REPL with the ess REPL and other functionality that comes with it. To do so, install this layer with:

  (setq-default
   dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
   '(
     (julia :variables julia-mode-enable-ess t)))
