Atom has been sunset by Microsoft - it will cease to function in about a week. This is probably related to that.

In addition, the julia package for Atom has not really been updated for quite some time now, since the development of the extension switched from Juno to VSCode.

It is recommended to use [VSCode](https://www.julia-vscode.org). 🙂
Of course, vim or emacs is always an option too. 😉

If you’re looking for a notebook-like environment, I’ve also seen people enjoy Pluto before, although I haven’t used it myself:
