atom VS darling

I thought a lot of the Atom developers moved to create Pulsar Editor.

https://pulsar-edit.dev/

Also, the community forked Atom into a community edition (CE), still getting updates?

What makes this "Atom Developer Editor" different than Pulsar or Atom-CE.

There's https://github.com/atom-community/atom, hoping that or similar will gain traction

A couple community maintained Atom forks have emerged: Atom Community and Pulsar. Of the two, Pulsar seems to be more actively developed.

Yes, I know Microsoft is archiving the Atom editor repo, but a public fork lives on. https://github.com/atom-community/atom/ atom-slime is probably still my favorite of the bunch. It actually uses Emacs SLIME. But I haven't looked at it in a couple years or longer.

Looks like the Atom community also started a fork of Atom a while back: https://github.com/atom-community/atom/

There is this: https://github.com/atom-community/atom

If you haven't heard, MS is retiring Atom in December 2022. I assume most of us will try the Atom community fork. But as back-up, etc., what editors are folks thinking about / exploring?

After the announcement of Atom sunset, people started to continue it as a community fork. It seems it's growing and drawing attention: At July 10th (two days after the announcement), it had 86 stars, but now it has more than 230! It may be no comparable to the star count of Atom itself (around 58k), but it's rising.

But - the community is taking the job to reimplement the servers. We're not sure about teletype, but packages will be able to be installed - well, in a different Atom binary that the community will provide. For more info: https://github.com/atom-community/atom/discussions

There is actually a Wine-like transplier called Darling. The problem is that development is very slow because there is not as much need for MacOS programs on Linux, and there is a huge shortage of volunteers and manpower. And it has been rendered almost obsolete because Apple moved to ARM. Additionally 90% of Apple's API is closed source despite Apple claiming to champion open source.

Unfortunately not. Darling [0] is still at the point that it can only run command line applications. Only the most basic GUI applications are supported. That's still a massive accomplishment that I don't want to diminish, but it's nowhere near the point that WINE was at even quite a long time ago.

xcodebuild CLI to compile iOS apps without a Mac. Seems possible in theory, although there's an ongoing issue some are seeing apparently: https://github.com/darlinghq/darling/issues/488

I wonder if there's opportunity for overlap with darling (https://www.darlinghq.org/) here, somewhat like using WINE on top of actual Windows.

Hi guys, just wanted to make a quick shoutout to Darling since not a lot people seem to know about it, which is a compatibility layer like Wine for Linux, but it allows for MacOS applications instead of Windows apps to be able to run on Linux!
