Would love to see this forked and updated. By far the best theme out there, but it looks like @MattDMo has a lot going on and doesn't have the time to do it himself.
Hi all, Sorry about the delay. I was away from development work for several years (because life...), but I'm trying to get back into things and pick up some of my old projects. I honestly had no idea the Atom version of Neon was so popular!
Sublime is still my primary target for Neon, but I'd like to support Atom and VSCode if I can. I've been doing some Sublime-based dev work, and the next version of Neon will use the JSON-based .sublime-color-scheme
format, either in addition to or instead of the original PLIST-based .tmTheme
format from Textmate. I haven't decided yet which option I'll use.
At any rate, I used a Ruby gem (I forget which one) to translate the PLIST to LESS for Atom. I don't know if there are any utilities for doing the same with JSON, either to LESS or plain CSS. It would be great if we could set up a system of build systems for translating Sublime PLIST <=> Sublime JSON <=> Atom LESS/CSS <=> VSCode whatever (since it looks like it supports multiple formats), so we can establish a common base on each platform, then start customizing them for each editor.
I'm open to any ideas. My philosophy so far has been to support as many scopes as possible for as many languages as possible, and when I add something new I just come up with a color that I think will look good in that context. I've reused some colors a few times, but the majority have come from the color picker. I'm open to considering arguments to change that philosophy for good reasons, so please chime in.

Matt, this all sounds like great stuff -- I think you should continue with said philosophy. Would you like me to close this?
This is by far my favorite theme; if no development continues here, I will fork myself. But I'd rather develop this with a group of people rather than on my own.
