Hi Mike —
This sounds exciting, thanks for mentioning it!I'm reasonably certain that you're not duplicating any current efforts in this direction. Or, if someone is working in this direction, they've been as quiet as you have been up to this point.
I'm not enough of an Eclipse user to be a good guinea pig for the plug-in myself (most of us at Cray use emacs or vim), but hope you'll find a volunteer. If not, putting it out in the wild may attract people who might not consider Chapel otherwise...?
I'm also thinking about ways we could highlight your efforts on social media or the gitter chat room, which often seem to be the best ways to get attention on the project these days.
We'd also be interested in hearing more about your tree-based algorithms and any successes or frustrations you have in Chapel with them as well.

Hello, I've developed an Eclipse plugin that does syntax highlighting and real-time error highlighting for Chapel. The plugin responds to document changes, as the programmer types, by asynchronously calling the chpl compiler and reporting back errors to Eclipse (up to the chpl "resolve" pass). Directly related issues are #5908 <https://github.com/chapel-lang/chapel/issues/5908>, and especially #9014 <https://github.com/chapel-lang/chapel/issues/9014>, #9003 <https://github.com/chapel-lang/chapel/issues/9003>. Am I duplicating others' efforts? Would the community be interested in testing this plugin, or tracking future improvements? I'd welcome any feedback and suggestions. FWIW, my technical interest in Chapel is in developing fast tree-based electric field algorithms. -- Mike
