Overview

Syntax highlighting for Clojure and EDN in Sublime Text.

Recently merged into Sublime's default packages, replacing the older Clojure syntax: sublimehq/Packages#1259.

Significantly improved over the previous built-in:

  • The syntax structure is modeled after the AST and the Clojure reader. Should handle any formatting, regardless of whitespace and indentation quirks.

  • No unnecessary special cases. Simple and consistent rules. User-defined syntax should look and feel the same as standard syntax.

  • Works in root scope

  • Much better at handling literals such as numbers, keywords, etc

  • Works for custom defs, e.g. defroute

  • Correctly declares definterface, defprotocol, deftype, defrecord types

  • Correctly highlights methods in definterface, defprotocol, deftype, defrecord

  • Correctly declares functions defined by defprotocol

  • Correctly declares names in the presence of metadata, whitespace, comments

  • Correctly handles defmulti and defmethod

  • Doesn't declare declare (noise)

  • Highlights mismatched brackets, helping with balancing

  • ≈ 4 times smaller

  • ≈ 6 times faster

Installation

Clone or download the repo into Sublime's Packages folder. On MacOS, this is usually "/Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages". Find it in menu → Preferences → Browse Packages.

Activate by selecting the Clj syntax. If you prefer it, set Sublime to use this syntax for all Clojure files.
