It would be nice, though, if it were somewhere documented - or even better, a meta-package with dependencies on all the others - to allow turning an already existing Atom installation into a Julia IDE *too*. I'd be much more interested in improving an editor I'm already using for other thing, than in installing yet another atom-sublime-vscode-like (they all look the same nowadays...) editor just to get the Julia goodness.
This is, of course and as already noted, definitely not urgent, but I think it should be on the road map. // T On Monday, March 28, 2016 at 10:26:06 PM UTC+2, Jonathan Malmaud wrote: > > Mike can step in, but I think it is indeed the plan to have a Julia IDE > bundle, causing the exact packages required on the julia and atom side to > be invisible implementation details from the user's POV. > > On Monday, March 28, 2016 at 1:27:01 PM UTC-4, David Anthoff wrote: >> >> I think the user experience for almost all people would be much easier if >> they install Atom, then add one package for julia support and everything >> works.
