Squirrel language integration with IntelliJ IDEA.

Primary LanguageJavaMIT LicenseMIT

This plugin is in early development stage. It has a basic feature set implemented, which allow basic use with Intellij IDEA or IDEA based IDEs, such as PHPStorm, PyCharm, CLion, etc.

Currently, I don't spend much time working on it, so if you want to help with any todo item, then go for it, send a PR and I'll review it.
