Julia
The support for julia language is in a preliminary stage, but many things such as font-lock, indentation, sending code to sub-process, interactive documentation and imenu have been already implemented.
Download ESS and checkout julia branch:
git clone git://github.com/emacs-ess/ESS.git cd ESS git checkout -b julia origin/julia
To update:
git pull
Optionally compile:
make all
Load ess-site.el in your .emacs and set ess-julia-program-name to point to
julia-release-basic executable:
(load "path/to/ESS/git/lisp/ess-site") (setq inferior-julia-program-name "~/path/to/julia/julia-release-basic"
To start julia type M-x julia RET.
To switch form script to associated process use C-c C-z (auto-start is not yet
implemented).
To send chunks of code from your script use C-c C-c, C-c C-r, C-c C-n etc. See
evaluating code section in ESS manual.
Note: Due to a bug in julia’s multiline evaluation, you cannot accumulate lines (i.e. send chunks line by line), use only bulk actions, such as sending paragraphs or regions.
To access documentation use C-c C-v (you need to have curl installed). See Help section in ESS documentation.
ESS-julia already implements a subset of ess-tracebug functionality.
Use usual emacs commands for error navigation C-x ` and M-g n, M-g p
You can use imenu directly, but better with some sort of completion mechanism such as Anything.
File and tags (emacs 24) completion is available by default with M-TAB. You
can use auto-complete package and activate it with
(setq ess-use-auto-complete t)
By default file completion and all words in the same mode buffers are active.

ESS ref-card might be also useful, though it covers a lot of functionality for R and S which is not yet implemented in julia-mode..
