No way, not even under DOS could you fit something with the parsing abilities of Ed's UI into 24 bytes. Even a minimal 8086 hello world in flat binary format comes to like 29 bytes. But these bloated editors ARE a joke, make no mistake.

Notepad++: 7 MB
Nano: 201 KB
Emacs: 34 MB

Even Dev-C++ is just over half the size of Atom, and it's a full (if minimalistic) IDE whose size includes a complete GNU toolchain.

Actually those are decent because they don't make excessive use of web technology. JS is fine for making buttons on websites do stuff when you click them. But I can't even go on news or commercial sites anymore without my browser dropping to 1 FPS because they use Javascript to write video codecs or something.

Atom wasn't meant to actually be used, it's just a bunch of self important developers having a good wank in the way fashion designers and architects do. I can imagine a huge chunk of the code only being contributed because people wanted their names on it. Making a good editor was secondary if not tertiary and beyond.

Considering VS Code is electron-based too, but "just" 200 MB while having more functionalities out-of-the-box (like debugging), the devs weren't even trying.

>Not fitting your entire text editor into the L3 cache in 2017.

>>61001756

I have 16 GB of RAM. 700 MB would be about 4% of my total RAM usage, however it is not the only program running on my system, and the increasing demands of applications are why I need to have 16 GB, instead of just 8. Moreover, greater RAM usage means that the program will run slower in general because less of that program is able to fit into cache.

I think it's reasonable to expect that a text editor should not use almost as much memory as Minecraft, and more memory than some of my older video games.

>>61002057

Sublime may be proprietary, but it is also hackable with Python extensions.

No one's talking about RAM here.

>>61002857
They're claiming a 700MB text editor is fine because everyone has enough hard drive space. However, for a program to run efficiently it must be loaded into RAM, and RAM is usually several orders of magnitude smaller than hard disk capacity.

I cant exactly say your wrong but memory usage can differ from disk size and no one ITT has posted memory usage data or implied any advantage in that area.

>>61003053
I think you're having trouble understanding what's being said. The fact that a program gets loaded into ram during usage is a counter argument against "lol who cares about file size, disc space is cheap".

And while you're right, programs don't have to be entirely loaded into ram at all times due to predictive caching, it's not unusual for it to scale linearly with application filesize. Plus predictive caching from disk to ram will always be slower than having everything in ram anyway.

>>61004550

Relative numbers matter, Anon. An application using >100 MB of RAM generally isn't necessarily that big a deal. When that application is a text editor, it's a bit more of a big a deal. When software with more or equivalent features is able to run in less memory, you need to fix your fucking program.

The only positive thing about Java is the jvm.

>>61007073
VSCode is far more extensive than sublime ever has been.
It's also proof you can legitimately use electron and have it not be a giant piece of shit, but that ultimately requires the backing of a giant corporation so I guess normies should chill w/ electron.

>>61007140
>VSCode is far more extensive than sublime ever has been.
Not too surprising given how poor of an idea it is to only offer some scripting API for extensions instead of a native plugin system.
>It's also proof you can legitimately use electron
Nah. They could have created a decent, as extensible, native framebuffered, still multiplatform text editor with half the manpower.
>and have it not be a giant piece of shit
It's a polishing upgrade to "barely usable". And only, because they wrote the text buffer/parsing in another language. What Atom devs plan to do as well, now. And that will only fix the "big file" issue.
