I'm curious to see what impact Microsoft's purchase of GitHub has on the long term prospects of Atom.
Atom is a lovely editor pushing the boundaries of web tech amd editor design in several areas, but its usecase is similar to VS Code. Would MS want to fund three editor teams?

Today I learnt that Lua projects often use *3* spaces for indentation! https://github.com/luarocks/lua-style-guide/blob/master/README.md#indentation-and-formatting
I initially thought something was very wrong with editor config.
Over a sufficiently long time horizon, all code you write is legacy code.
In LSP, a position is represented as a line number and a column offset (in Unicode code units): https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/lsp/3.17/specification/#position
This is pretty elegant. You'll get the correct line regardless of encoding bugs, and the editor already knows the line number so it's cheap to compute.
