Porting to Atom #19

Closed alyeffy closed 6 years ago

alyeffy commented 6 years ago

By popular demand, I think it'd be a good idea to port all the syntax files to Atom as well. Atom is Github's open source text-editor that is cross-platform (Mac, Windows, Linux).

Its syntax highlighting system is based on TextMate's language grammar so converting the current Sublime Text files that we have to be compatible with Atom should be fairly straightforward. The only difference is that we'll be creating .cson files (basically custom JSON-like CSS files) and a less file for the colour scheme. I would like to work on this and if anyone else would as well, let me know :)

Here's some resources I found that seem helpful:

This is your baby @alyeffy ;)

If it's labour-intense (a non-scritable operation) then we'll for sure prioritize an atom port after publication.
