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.
