A bit of gratuitous self promotion but just to let people know if you liked Atom and are still using it or maybe you migrated to a new editor and still miss Atom, it was forked as Pulsar which is entirely community-led and is seeing a lot of active development to bring it up to date. We also have a lemmy community at [email protected]

Thank you for your work on Pulsar.

Just looked through it and I'm considering to switch!

I was wondering though, is there support for debugging sessions like VSCodium has? And what about remote development, SSH, docker integration and WSL2?

Also, can Pulsar run, inspect and debug (unit) tests?

None of those by default, Pulsar tends to stick to being an editor with as much as you need but not more by default. However one good thing about forking Atom was that we kept all the packages that were published to atom.io (more than 10k of them). You can browse them the PPR (Pulsar Package Registry) which was reverse engineered from Atom's closed source backend from scratch before they took down the site - https://web.pulsar-edit.dev/.

Specifically there are a bunch of remote edit packages that work over SSH, a ton of Docker packages and there are plenty of debugging packages both generic and language specific and there are indeed test runner packages.

I won't say I guarantee all of these will work but our Discord channel in particular is rather active so people more knowledgeable than I might well be able to help out, its a friendly place. We have other social channels as well should you prefer them.
