Is there a way to switch between multiple Julia kernels from within Atom? I know Atom can spawn a new Julia session (Julia \> Start Julia) and stop/interrupt a running session. But I’d like to be able to “step into” an existing session and possibly to switch between existing sessions as well - something akin to kernels in Mathematica. Is this possible to do using Atom/Juno?
