IntelliJ Elixir Works Even if your Code Doesn't
summary
IntelliJ Elixir is an Elixir plugin that parses and analyzes code with a custom lexer and parser so editor features work even when code doesn’t compile; Go To Definition and Find Usages resolve imports, macros, protocols and generated DSLs. Recent work adds HEEx/EEx template language support, a distributed Erlang debugger integration, and decompiler improvements. Ecto and Yacto heuristics drop unresolvable references from 496 to 28, showing concrete gains in navigation and completion.
