Erlang Language Platform (ELP)

ELP logo

Description

Designed at WhatsApp and inspired by the success of the Rust Analyzer project, ELP provides a scalable, fully incremental, IDE-first library for the semantic analysis of Erlang code.

ELP includes a fully fledged LSP language server for the Erlang programming language, providing advanced features such as go-to-definition, find references, call hierarchy and more for your IDE of choice.

ELP is easily extensible and provides a convenient API to implement linters and refactoring tools for Erlang.

Terms of Use
