Julia support for Atom

Atom package for the Julia language. Originally based off of JuliaLang/julia.tmBundle, merged with new ideas from language-julia package.

Features:

Syntax highlighting
Snippets for common Julia keywords and constructs (see snippets/language-julia.cson)
Snippets for all emoji supported at the REPL

Installation

Installation happens normally either through apm install language-julia or through the install section of the settings tab within Atom.

Note: if you already have a different version of language-julia plugin installed (e.g. this one), you would need to remove it first using apm uninstall language-julia

Recommended Extras

The Latex Completions package provides support for unicode characters similarly to the Julia REPL.
Additional settings: we recommend following the contributor guidelines with resepct to whitespace. Atom can help you with this. To have atom automatically replace spaces with 4 tabs, you should click the checkbox for the Soft Tabs option on the settings page and add the following to your settings.cson file:

".julia.source":
  editor:
    tabLength: 4

Contributing

We love contributors. Here are the steps we have taken to develop on this pacakge:

Remove the official install of the package: apm uninstall language-julia
Clone the repository somewhere we can remember: git clone git@github.com:JuliaLang/atom-language-julia.git
Link the cloned package to ~/.atom (enter the following from the root of the repo directory): apm link .
Hack away!

When new features are added, you should write specs to show that the package is behaving as expected. To run the specs you need to do the following:

Make sure you have the library's folder open in the current atom project.
Then open the command pallete and select Window: Run package specs. On OSX this key-binding is ctrl+cmd+option+p.

This should open up a new window with the spec results.
