Atom Perl 6 Support - Forgotten Edition!

This used to be my attempt at improving the Perl 6 highlighter over the builtin one for Atom. I have since lost almost all of my time for programming. Thankfully the Perl 6 community has taken it upon themselves to continue where I left off and make it an official project. Please use the official atom-language-perl6 highlighter going forward and not my own as this package is not maintained.

Derived from the builtin language-perl package but with many bugfixes and additions. You might ask why I didn't just add a PR there but I feel that this package adds quite a bit more that it might not be everyone's cup of tea. However, I do plan on adding support for autocomplete+, linter, atom-build, and atom-runner. Maybe even integrating a perl6 REPL would be fun!

How do I use this?

You have three options:

1. Click the language name in the status-bar (Ctrl+Shift+L) and select Perl 6 FE
2. Disable or uninstall the language-perl package
3. Add this to your config.cson (Application: Open Your Config):

'*':
  core:
    customFileTypes:
      'source.perl6fe': [
        # Any extensions you'd like to override
        'p6'
        'pm6'
        't'
      ]

Please be aware that if you do not include the t extension above, your t files will be highlighted with the language-perl highlighter (using either P5 or P6 grammar depending on if you have the use v6; pragma).

What Makes This The Fun Edition™?

Perl 6 is optimized for fun -Audrey Tang

• This package was developed to work with Fira Code ligatures

• More syntax highlighted (numbers, operators, interpolation, traits, better strings)

• This package will also soon contain support for many popular atom packages that have service hooks like autocomplete+ and linter

• I'd like to add a builtin REPL eventually
