To all the people who have donated, you are awesome !! Really, this is pure anonymous donation and it blows my mind... I'm very grateful and it's kinda stupid but it keeps me motivated. So big thanks.
Many thanks also to the [jetbrains team](https://www.jetbrains.com/?from=reasonml-idea-plugin) who provide me an OSS licence for their product.

## What?
- Why don't you consider using Language Server Protocol ?
Mainly because I want a strong integration in the IDE and I need a first class support of Windows.
- What versions does the plugin support at the moment?
It should work with idea 15
- How is it different than [ocaml language plugin](https://github.com/sidharthkuruvila/ocaml-ide)?
I wanted to have a plugin dedicated to reason and that's why I created one called reasonml, not ocaml.
Then I realised that I still need ocaml support and that people are asking for it.
I started this plugin by studying and copying parts of the ocaml plugin, but now the 2 projects are taking different orientations, technically.
I am moving away from merlin and trying to use the most of Intellij structures.
Now, they have incompatible implementations, and different goals.
- Modules from `node_modules` folder are not resolved (GoTo is not working on `Array.sort`)?
Ensure that `node_modules` folder is not excluded from IDE index.
## Development
This project is heavily inspired by :
- [custom language tutorial](http://www.jetbrains.org/intellij/sdk/docs/tutorials/custom_language_support_tutorial.html) from intellij
- [ocaml language plugin](https://github.com/sidharthkuruvila/ocaml-ide) from sidharthkuruvila ( :+1: )
