Hi Rich I am new to this whole ecosystem, and don't use BBEdit, but regarding development tools, have you had a look at CodeRunner and their language setup:
They use textmate language grammar which seems to be regular expression based https://macromates.com/manual/en/language_grammars This is what you can use for CodeRunner ( if that is your thing ): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elixir-lang/elixir-tmbundle/master/Syntaxes/Elixir.tmLanguage ( see further here: https://stephenhowells.net/use-elixir-in-coderunner-2/ ) R.
