Sample project need to study Elixir development with Vim

I have installed the basic plugins which I believe are necessary to get going with Elixir development.

Are there some small projects I can use to see how well it all works in Elixir?

Are there some useful plugins I may be missing?

I know that Spacemacs is the recommended tool for Elixir, with IntelliJ, VSCode etc, but I have to get some core Linux skills under my belt. I am worried that if I get to comfortable with Spacemacs I may never learn Vim:grinning:

I’d honestly say try SpaceMacs. I’ve been a heavy vi(m) user for near 30 years now, but it finally converted me. :slight_smile:

See updated question. :grinning:

So I see. ^.^

Well SpaceMacs is just emacs (the vim rival, just as console-oriented and runs in a terminal or a GUI or etc like vi does), but with vi controls (except the trigger key is spacebar, which honestly is a lot better, and hence where it gets its name from), so learning spacemacs will teach vim you as well, except spacemacs is a lot more powerful (due to emacs being far more easily scriptable than vim without needing a hoard of outside processes). I always though vim keybindings were superior to emacs, hence why I used vim, but emacs can do anything. Spacemacs really is the best combination. :slight_smile:

I think you’re missing these plugins: vimux-elixir-test, vimux, ultisnips, vim-snippets and vim-mix-format

If you learn Spacemacs you also learn things of vim.
