An advanced code editor will appear on GitHab soon. The Gietgab team hasn’t yet made an official announcement of this, but
about seventy repositories have been
published , by which one can roughly imagine the functionality of the future editor. The official site of the editor,
atom.io , so far contains only a one-word splash screen: “Soon” (“soon”). [
UPD: The site has already earned.] In some repositories there are screenshots of the future editor:

Command palette in the style of Sublime TextMost of the editor is written in CoffeeScript, for the server part Node.js is used. Judging by commits schedules, development has been going on for quite some time and the editor has been able to do a lot - snippets, emmet, vim-mode, fuzzy search, collaboration, statistics collection and much more.
UPD2: I
translated the first two posts from the Atom blog, which talked about the concept and architecture of the editor. Since the first post is just a short introduction without technical details, I published them in one article.
