So I was doing atom ~/.zshrc to edit my shell config file and noticed the fans on my Macbook Pro going crazy after a while.

Looking at the activity monitor I find:

Inspecting that I could see that Atom was the parent process. After quitting Atom however the beam process remained, eating up all my CPU power as a zombie process until force killed. Disabling autocomplete-elixir avoids the process from spawning.

Another sad fact is that I don't even have a single Elixir project on my harddrive at the moment.

Would suggest:

  • Don't spawn the beam process at all unless there are any elixir files in the currently open project
  • Gracefully exit the beam process when closing elixir projects (and obviously when shutting down Atom completely)
