Atom has recently gained a significantly better support with the atom-elixir package. Adding language-elixir and linter-elixir packages creates a moderately enjoyable experience.

So, to say "I trust/distrust all media sources in equal measure" demonstrates a wilful ignorance, or incredible naiveté.

>Having an effective universal annotation platform in wide use across the web

...funded by venture capital with an expectation of hyper growth and liquidity event would not necessarily be beneficial for all users. To put it mildly.

>People keep complaining about how slow Atom is, how much memory it hogs up, etc

Which is exactly what people have been saying decades ago about Emacs, aka "Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping".

Atom adoption among SO developers increased from 2% in 2015 to 12% in 2016. VS Code is at 7.2% and it's not even out of beta.

Both Atom and VS Code are built on Electron so it seems that web tech for building code editors and IDEs is getting really popular.

Robert Virding has just announced the release on twitter https://twitter.com/rvirding/status/710259707819249664

I feel that this LFE release further validates BEAM as a promising platform for future development of new programming languages. Also I look forward to reading SICP converted to LFE. Available chapters can be found here https://www.gitbook.com/book/lfe/sicp

TcpKali mascot is an example of great visual identity for open source projects: kawaii-touched fearsome ancient god zapping servers. It's both memorable visual symbol and an apt metaphor for core feature (load generation).

RJ-45 connectors with a skull hanging from the neck and a latte cup are just cherries on top.
