Emacs 26 Brings Generators and Threads

Both Atom and VSCode are multiplatform and can run on any platform emacs can. Hell there's a version of it that runs in-browser. Both have commercial backing and the platform is built ok Chrome. Hard to imagine a world where any of that adds up to ephemeral.

I'd love to use Atom on a little QNX system, can you tell me where I can find the Atom distribution? It's possible to build Emacs on it.

That's my bad, I should expect stupid responses when I make a stupid statement. Major platform where, you know, it makes sense to have. You'd "love" to have Atom on your realtime OS? For what, exactly?

I need to work on my disruptive startup's decentralized AI blockchain machine learning product using Vue.js from my car's infotainment system.

Actually though pre-6.6 QNX had a great GUI and is capable of running on desktops and laptops just fine¹. I rather like it.

¹ Hardware support is not great but way better than you might be expecting. Either way, it runs fine in VMWare and VirtualBox. I'm currently trying to acquire some parts to build a PowerPC laptop for QNX.

I'd bet he'd want to edit text; but I'm no fortune teller.

You'd probably use a text editor in that case. I'd bet most operating systems include one.

Any platform? Like the terminal on my server?

No, like your browser since it's a GUI? A terminal isn't a platform.

Not all environments have GUI or need to have it

Never said otherwise. Just assumed my statement would be clear that environments lacking a windowing system wouldn't qualify given GUIs require a windowing system.
