Just updating my editor guide for newbies. Glad to be able to have Atom in it still in some form. Just to make sure I understand correctly: tree-sitter provides complete language support including REPL integration, so it would be Pulsar + tree-sitter now, or is Chlorine still a separate package?

No, Chlorine is still a separate package. tree-sitter is just a generic syntax highlighter for multiple languages

The difference is that tree-sitter supposedly offers better highlighting and support for incremental parsing, so it's faster than textmate grammars

@edward.hughes1911 the instructions for Pulsar are actually the same for Atom, you can literally replace the word Atom for Pulsar and it'll be the same 🤣

Okay, yeah that's what I thought, the it's Pulsar + Chlorine + tree-sitter

yeah lol, just replaced the name and link and wanted to make sure the packages were still the same.

Will be transitioning back to it from VSCode some time this month probably
