Atom vs λiquid: What are the differences?
What is Atom? A hackable text editor for the 21st Century. At GitHub, we're building the text editor we've always wanted. A tool you can customize to do anything, but also use productively on the first day without ever touching a config file. Atom is modern, approachable, and hackable to the core. We can't wait to see what you build with it.
What is λiquid? Vim and Emacs-inspired editor written in Clojure. Clojure Text Editor, for editing clojure code and markdown. Written entirely in Clojure with inspiration from Emacs and Vim.
Atom and λiquid belong to "Text Editor" category of the tech stack.
Some of the features offered by Atom are:
- Atom is a desktop application based on web technologies
- Node.js integration
- Modular Design- composed of over 50 open-source packages that integrate around a minimal core
On the other hand, λiquid provides the following key features:
- Fluidable - Embed your code into λiquid or λiquid into your code
- Dependency free - Everything is pure Clojure
- Translatable - Tiny core, simple model, no tricks
Atom and λiquid are both open source tools. It seems that Atom with 49.3K GitHub stars and 12.1K forks on GitHub has more adoption than λiquid with 704 GitHub stars and 26 GitHub forks.
Since communication with Github is not necessary, the Atom is less convenient in working with text and code. Sublim's support and understanding of projects is best for us. Notepad for us is a completely outdated solution with an unacceptable interface. We use a good theme for Sublim ayu-dark
