With the release of Atom 1.21 Beta last week, GitHub introduced Language Server Protocol support to integrate its brand-new Atom-IDE project, which comes with built-in support for five popular language servers, including JavaScript, TypeScript, PHP, Java, C#, and Flow. But many others will come with future Atom updates. If you want to rely on your Atom hackable text editor for IDE capabilities, it’s now very easy to get started thanks to Atom-IDE. All you have to do is to open the Install Packages dialog from the Settings view in Atom, where you need to search for and install the atom-ide-ui package.
