Make sure that all editors play well with Perl 6

@AlexDaniel updated NeoVim to point at the Vim (rather than Emacs) plugin.

[AlexDaniel]

@cfa oh. I think it should be pointing to https://github.com/neovim/neovim/blob/master/runtime/ftplugin/perl6.vim instead?

[cfa]

@AlexDaniel looks like that's an older version (bundled with vim-perl).

Perhaps both links can be provided—(i) builtin support, (ii) the more up to date plugin?

Sublime text | 🤷 unknown

It has a really awful and unusable Perl 6 highligher, so I'd say it's unsupported. I forget where I installed it from, but lack of support in sublime is the only reason I'm using Atom for P6.

[MasterDuke17]

I'm pretty sure vim supports Perl 6 by default now.

[Tyil]

@MasterDuke17 Perl 6 has decent support by default in vim, but the vim-perl6 plugin enhances it.

[AlexDaniel]

Yeah, I think I fixed that.

[nxadm]

Maybe this could be turned into a Wiki page?

[cfa]

@nxadm good idea.

We could also potentially snapshot it periodically at https://github.com/perl6/doc so that it's more discoverable for users. Thoughts?

[AlexDaniel]

Well, anyone in perl6 github org (≈300 people) should be able to edit the comment, so functionally any comment is like a shitty wiki page (which is often good enough). And that's not the first time we do that. In fact, we probably get more edits here than on the whole rakudo wiki. Also, here you have an option to just write a comment instead of editing.

so that it's more discoverable for users. Thoughts?

This ticket was meant to be a marketing issue… but yes, I see it outgrowing itself a bit.

We already list editor plugins on https://perl6.org/whatever/, maybe we should just extract the useful parts from that table.

But that leaves the non-issue Issue open. In the wrong repo too. This stuff has little to do with marketing, but is perfect for our user-experience repo.

FWIW, here's a user asking for nano support, if anyone has any advice for them: https://www.reddit.com/r/perl6/comments/881svu/nano_syntax_highlighting_for_perl6/

[AlexDaniel]

@zoffixznet you're right! I totally forgot that we had a user-experience repo.

[zaucker]

Comma should be added to the list (perhaps not before the beta is started in May 2018).

[AlexDaniel]

Sure, once it's out.

[nxadm]

A new column may be needed collecting the license information. Something line FOSS/Commercial with Free Usage/Paid License.

C.

[AlexDaniel]

OK, added it right away as a plugin for IntelliJ IDEA (I hope that's right). Don't know what to do with Comma as standalone IDE, because this ticket has a different purpose. Maybe we can list it on https://perl6.org/whatever/ once it is out.

Thanks everyone for your comments! This ticked was moved to Raku/user-experience#19.
