emacs mode

[Marc Hadfield]

Hi All - 

I was recently trying out flora mode in emacs and noticed that it can cause quite a lag in editing (like locking up for 15 seconds) when just hitting return a few times.  From a quick look at emacs profiling, it looks like this is caused by heavy use of the emacs "looking-back" function.

Does anyone have any tweaks to the flora mode script to help, maybe by limiting the scope of the looking-backs to reduce the overhead?  Googling emacs + looking-back  comes up with some info, such as:

Thanks Michael!

We use Eclipse for our other development work.  Other than the visualizer from a long while back, are there any other Flora2/Eclipse plugins for editing support?  I'm considering creating one for syntax highlighting, etc. using Xtext for parsing, which supports extended BNF-style rules.  Any thoughts as to whether that's a good/bad idea?

Unfortunately it is not that simple. This mode requires a thorough  review.

It helps to create shorter rules by splitting large bodies though.
