electronThe Architecture of Hackability: How Atom's Package System Redefined the Editor
Explore how Atom's Package system used Electron and a unified API to turn the text editor into a fully hackable platform, and the performance trade-offs that came with it.
How can I fix the "zsh: command not found: python" error? (macOS Monterey 12.3, Python 3.10, Atom IDE, and atom-python-run 0.9.7)
Since I got the macOS v12.3 (Monterey) update (not sure it's related though), I have been getting this error when I try to run my Python code in the terminal: I am using Python 3.10.3, Atom IDE, and run the code in the terminal via atom-python-run package (which used to work perfectly fine). The settings for the package go like this: The which command in the
pythonDoes Tree-sitter incremental parsing impact V8 heap growth in large files?
Memory Overhead of Incremental Parsing Atom's transition from regex-based scanning to the Tree-sitter grammar system was designed to improve performance through incremental parsing. This approach maintains a concrete syntax tree (CST) that is updated as the user edits a file, rather than re-scanning the entire document. Given that Atom relies on the Electron
