It become open source just last week. Currently don’t have Linux version but soon it will have. Linux Roadmap issue
I’d love to have a vscodium alternative written in a faster and more efficient language. Most editors and IDEs don’t quite fit my workflow, while vscodium does.
Yep, I also want a good alternative to codium which run fastly on Potato. That’s why I am trying different Editor now days like Lite-Xl and other more.
Does kate from KDE suffice?
Didn’t try it yet. But, isn’t it just like Gedit?
Closer to Geany or Sublime. I haven’t used gedit before though. Kate has language server back end integration, add-on support, integrated terminal, and other features. Geany might be a good option, though I know nothing of its speed. Kate seemed fine but again no idea.
Just tried Kate. It’s so great. Have all features which I want Thanks for suggestion
Np, glad it was useful.
A bit of gratuitous self promotion but just to let people know if you liked Atom and are still using it or maybe you migrated to a new editor and still miss Atom, it was forked as Pulsar which is entirely community-led and is seeing a lot of active development to bring it up to date. We also have a lemmy community at !pulsaredit@lemmy.ml
Just looked through it and I’m considering to switch!
I was wondering though, is there support for debugging sessions like VSCodium has? And what about remote development, SSH, docker integration and WSL2?
Also, can Pulsar run, inspect and debug (unit) tests?
None of those by default, Pulsar tends to stick to being an editor with as much as you need but not more by default. However one good thing about forking Atom was that we kept all the packages that were published to atom.io (more than 10k of them). You can browse them the PPR (Pulsar Package Registry) which was reverse engineered from Atom’s closed source backend from scratch before they took down the site - https://web.pulsar-edit.dev/.
Specifically there are a bunch of remote edit packages that work over SSH, a ton of Docker packages and there are plenty of debugging packages both generic and language specific and there are indeed test runner packages.
I won’t say I guarantee all of these will work but our Discord channel in particular is rather active so people more knowledgeable than I might well be able to help out, its a friendly place. We have other social channels as well should you prefer them.
I’ll try it once Linux support kinda works
Don’t understand why they made it mac only, I don’t think mac users are even aware of other apps than what Apple tells them… :)
Apple users think they’re the smartest people on the planet.
It seems that a lot of their responses have been along the lines of: “Well, it’s because I have a Mac. Good luck if you don’t!”
I understand that, sure, but they would have had a lot more support for this editor if it was for Linux. Now I barely ever hear about it at all in the news.
Hot take: but I think it makes sense. If anyone would pay for a closed source editor it’s mac developers hence it made sense to chose that as your first platform to support, especially considering that they are a small startup. I don’t use mac either but I think they made the right choice from a business standpoint when they were still closed source.
