I installed it for kicks, but it doesn’t even have syntax highlighting. And can’t find a way too add it either.
From this reddit topic I gather that there isn’t going to be much support for a long time.
I wonder if it really is a VS Code killer, if it’s not extendable at all.

It can talk LSP at least
And has erlang syntax highlighting
In fact it supports lots of stuff out of the box, but not Elixir.
cmo
You can get syntax highlighting with TextMate bundles. https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/fl?q=Elixir. However, it didn’t look great and the inability to have the LSP hooked up via a plugin (yet) makes it a little unattractive at this point.

They advertise the lsp aspects a lot now, but I can still not find any traces of fleet plus elixir through lsp.
cmo
They changed the Elixir LSP issue to Open a few weeks back. Some kind of progress
olivermt
Could not find that anywhere, url?

I don’t quite understand. Wouldn’t it be enough if they provide a decent LSP-interface and then the community could build Elixir support? Isn’t that how it is in VSCode?
katafrakt
Then it’s hard to tell what advantage does it have over VSCode (which they seem to target as their main competitor). I also think it’s not in line with general JetBrains idea of providing commercially supported language support. On top of that, I’m not so sure the community will be so keen on working for free so that JetBrains can earn more on their paid product.
cmo
Someone already maintains a free Elixir plugin for the IDEs, so don’t be surprised if people make them for Fleet.
@Sebb last I saw they hadn’t finished the plugin architecture so you couldn’t write your own to tie into their LSP interface. They were getting it working on Rust first IIRC. I haven’t been paying attention lately though.

Is fleet different architecturally from how idea works? because there is a very good and well maintained plugin for elixir for intellij: GitHub - KronicDeth/intellij-elixir: Elixir plugin for JetBrain's IntelliJ Platform (including Rubymine) · GitHub
