Atom editor performance concerns? #28

Open jbranchaud opened 10 years ago

What are the performance concerns of Atom right now? There has been a lot of discussion about JavaScript/CoffeeScript not being as performant as the languages other editors are built on. On the other hand, I have read that because it is a native client and because of node-webkit, one can write code in C/C++ (?) and then access that code within Atom. We should build a document addressing the performance concerns.

One article I have read addressing performance concerns: A Critical Look at Atom.io

Other performance concerns? Other articles?
