Atom, the text editor developed by GitHub Atom and built on the Electron framework, has been upgraded with improvements centered on GitHub packaging as well as Python and HTML language capabilities.

Atom, GitHub’s text editor built on the Electron framework, is being fitted with IDE-like capabilities as a precursor to making the editor a full-fledged IDE.

GitHub will sunset the open-source text editor Atom on 15 December, but a successor is expected.

GitHub is morphing its open source code editor, Atom, into more of a full-fledged IDE with a new project appropriately called Atom-IDE.
