Is there a reason why this mode [https://github.com/optick/codemirror-mode-elixir](https://github.com/optick/codemirror-mode-elixir) not included in modes by default? ---

Yes, there is. We’re moving away from bundling modes in the main library distribution, so recently written modes will be distributed separately. ---

Hi 🙂 I absolutely get the idea. Maintaining all these languages is hard. But then developers of various software that embeds CodeMirror do not include the additional languages either. As a result users don’t get them at all. For example, Atlassian doesn’t give users Elixir: [https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BSERV-10181](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BSERV-10181) I think that it would have been much better to have Elixir in core. Of course it’s your call.
