I am a simple fellow and, coming from the simplicity of Idle3 for python, the Atom juno seems to be too cluttered for my taste. SO is there a simpler way to develop Julia. I am looking for an Idle3 experience where I enter code in one window and run/compile it in another. I tried to install Juno an…

@Tamas_Papp pointed out I should endevour to contribute and I whole heartedly agree. This morning I was on sand hill road and asked for my friend’s opinion on this topic. The result is as follows: install ubuntu 18.04 lts vanilla install julia latest version install juliainterpreter.jl install…

Should we be concerned about the possility of atom being abandoned since more users are moving to vscode?

I don’t use Atom currently, but I like having it available and don’t want to use VSCode. [image] Steven_Sagaert: Basically VS code is the new vim/emacs but web based and more disciplined in terms of extensions. Also, I’d rather use an actual vim than a web-based emacs… the web-based version …

I actually asked about where Juno stands as an Atom specific tool or really a set of tools that happens to be on Atom right now. I was told that it’s not a dedicated Atom tool and that the modular tools are really what’s important. Basically, if VSCode can support all the features and tools it sound…

That’s fine. Vim and emacs are there for those who prefer it and I don’t expect long time users to switch. The editor wars have been raging for decades and will continue on with no resolution :smile: But in terms of (search) popularity VS code beats vim/emacs/atom and in fact it’s the only one that…

If VSCode had the same feature support as neovim I would gladly switch. But I can never get all my keybindings and code navigation tools to completely transfer over.

[image] ChrisRackauckas: People using Atom tend to just leave the default theme because it’s pretty good, so I’m not surprised. VS Code should really just make their default be One Dark Pro and then the “first look” will be infinitely better. Funny, I think exactly the other way around. I mea…

FWIW, the contrast is clearly lower, the stats show everyone downloading other themes (which apparently is mostly Atom’s), and I got shamed when I had the two up and some designer friends saw the VS Code one. That’s not to say no one can like it, it’s definitely personal! But it does have lower read…

Low contrast? Atom on the left and VS on the right. It seems to my eyes that VS has a pretty higher contrast. [Capture]

I was trying to find out how someone could find the function pastel yellow vs the standard white in VS Code more different than the teal vs white of Atom, and I just couldn’t. Then I showed your screenshot to someone and they didn’t even realize the function was a different color from the text. So y…

Yes, function color could be more contrasting but I got used to it and my brain immediately tells the difference against the neighboring white text.

What if I want a simpler IDE for Julia?
