Is atom-racer bad for SSDs? #80

Open dszakallas opened 7 years ago

We use temporary files to communicate with racer and need to place them along with your source files. We shaped them as .racertmpXXXXX because the .* files are ignored by default by Atom.

As I understand, atom-tracer writes a file every time it requests a completion, then deletes it. Doesn't this constant writing/deleting has significant inpact on SSD health?

Save your SSD! my fork (racer-plus) doesn't use temporary files: https://atom.io/packages/racer-plus
