Anonymous Coward writes "GitHub's Atom, a new text editor blending C++ and web technologies, is now being released as a limited beta. The new editor, which claims to have partial TextMate support, is extensible with the help of a centralized add-on manger (the same way Eclipse does) and is heavily integrated with the github platform. The final licence is not known at the moment, but the project already makes use of over 80 open source software packages.
Access to the beta is currently "invite only"."

That makes me wonder if they use some hmtl widget for their interface, that could make it interesting for things like using the same html/javascript on websites, assuming they improved the editing a lot over say soylentnews' text entry box.
