Set the code free

#1

Hi.
It would be nice for the code to be set under a free licence.
What about a crowd-funding campain with a goal of 300 000$ and if it’s is reached then, the licence of ST is changed ?

Wonder how you people come up with these numbers… :smile:

You always have atom.io. After the work in June/July on performance, there’s no longer any real need for Sublime Text as far as I can tell in my latest round of testing. The amount of progress is just stunning and I can do all kinds of interesting plugin work that just isn’t possible in ST because I don’t have the source, and the API is too limited.

Can’t wait for my plugin port to be completed.

Sublime showed the way, but it’s time to move on.

So move on. There’s nothing for you here.

I was actually very disappointed while testing the current release of Atom last week on a reasonably fast computer (quad core, i5, 3.2 Ghz, w/8 Go of memory, 1650x1050).

It took about 20s to load a 5Mb text file (64 KLoc, Cobol, but with no highlighting due to it not being recognised out of the box with Atom), and, more significantly, it took more than 5 seconds to load a plain 800k HTML file.

It was unexpected, due to the fact that, on that very same computer, both LightTable (last “official” release, i.e., quite old now) and Visual Studio Code (last release, v0.7) are handling those files quickly, and are built on similar grounds (chromium, javascript/…).

[BTW, I was also disappointed by the fact that Atom seems to stop highlighting long lines at circa column 350. Again, no such behaviour with LT or VSC…]

So from my point of view, while VSC is intriguing (but so far closed), Atom is a no-go right now…

Uhm, no, not ok. I don’t know where that “quote” came from. It’s not what I wrote, as you can clearly see by looking at my original message.

The “original” has clearly been edited. Please behave.
