Atom by GitHub

I’m curious about it as well. What about a vm (and sharing it) :p ?

Interesting, but I don’t own a MAC although I’ve always wanted to try a MAC. Memoria’s idea is great. Will check out the MAC in VM.

When I saw ‘Atom’ I first thought of hashcat. Open source projects are always favored and this one doesn’t make an exception. Hope it gets written for MS-DOS and Linux as well.

Can anyone briefly explain this feature to me? I am a bit slow in technology.

What feature?

A tool you can customize to do anything, but also use productively on the first day without ever touching a config file.
What does this editor exactly do? Does it allow programmers to edit their code without setting up the environment?

Well @kapuccino we will see it after its completed and released!! ?

From what I’ve read I’m not too impressed. It feels like it has gotten a lot of hype only because it’s made by GitHub. There are apparently quite significant performance problems. Might not be too big a surprise as it is a beta after all. What is worse imo is that it will not be fully open source nor will the finished version be free (https://atom.io/faq).

But since it is based on html, maybe they are also aiming to use it for online editing at GitHub. That would be pretty sweet :).

Eww not open source … I didn’t realise that -.- that’s annoying. I was looking forward to a nice alternative to Sublime (which I still love)

Speaking of Sublime, under a *nix distro you can even make it transparent and 3D-vieweable with compiz toolset. It’s the perfect editor for me and I guess, for many others as well.

hmm someone can explain this ? I think i’ve understand what this contain but for what?

[quote=atom.io]How much will Atom cost?
We haven’t settled on pricing yet, but you can expect it to be competitively priced compared to similar editors.

Will Atom be open source?
We have not finalized licensing on Atom’s core (nucleus?), but we’re aiming for a common ground between fully-closed and fully-open.[/quote]
Well, that’s really a big problem!

Well, now the answers are here.
Atom was made open source with MIT license few days ago.
They also provide steps to build it under non osx environment (windows, linux, bsd)

HF !

virtual machine can be used to run mac

If you have a shitty laptop, you can’t run vm, and what’s the point of running one if you can use this ide under your own environment?

@Memoria that’s awesome, I had missed that news :)

Great it can now be made for Windows and Linux! It was kinda mean that it was only for Mac before. :)
