Julia support?

[Ottermanns]

I have been using intim for quite some time with R and Python. Really a great plugin. Works (almost) perfectly for me. The only thing I miss is Julia support. That would be my data scientist's dream ;-) Would it be possible to add it? I am afraid I am not experienced enough to contribute to this in a useful way.

Hi @Ottermanns ! I'm sorry I'm more than a year late because Github is not sending me notifications if you're not explicitly pinging me when opening an issue here :\ What exactly are you expecting from a "Julia support"? My personal usage of intim+Julia looks like

call IntimSetLanguage('julia')
call Intim_invokeCommand('julia', 'julia --project=. --threads 1')
call Intim_headedExpression('julia', ",ln", "length")
call Intim_postInvokeCommands('julia', ['using Revise'])
" ..etc.

(:help Intim.txt)
Would anything like this be useful? Or would there still be something missing?

@iago-lito I can confirm that it works for me!

here is my .vimrc

autocmd Bufenter *.jl call IntimSetLanguage("julia")
autocmd Bufenter *.jl call Intim_invokeCommand('julia', 'julia --project=. --threads 1')
autocmd Bufenter *.jl call Intim_headedExpression('julia', ",ln", "length")
autocmd Bufenter *.jl call Intim_postInvokeCommands('julia', ['using Revise'])

Thanks. I will try that. In the meantime I switched to slime. But maybe intim will work also ...

FWIW @Ottermanns, intim support for Julia help pages have just been introduced in 46ec5a0. You should be able to enjoy it now with anything akin to:

nmap <F1> <Plug>IntimGetHelpWord
vmap <F1> <Plug>IntimGetHelpSelection

Next on the list (whenever I either find spare time or contributors) is to also feature dynamic coloration of variables like intim already does for R and Python :)
