I think it is useful to have a dedicated channel for Atom, to make it easier to find help and useful stuff, workflow tips etc. Welcome!

Hi. There is a VSCode extension for clj-kondo now which uses a language server (LSP): https://github.com/borkdude/clj-kondo.lsp. This gives Windows users a snappy experience, similar to users of linux and MacOS who have access to the binary. I haven't got any plans of doing an Atom plugin myself since I'm not using it as my primary editor nor do I know the APIs of that, but if there's interest, I would be happy to collaborate!

@holyjak True and that's awesome! But Windows people can't use the binary. That's why the LSP approach could be interesting, for that subset of users.

Ah, I see.

The VSCode package requires no additional installation

i've been experiencing odd behavior with the built-in go-to-declaration (ctrl-alt-down in linux) -- i've summarized my experience here: https://github.com/atom/symbols-view/issues/159#issuecomment-544118286 -- has anyone else been using it without problems? it seems to work for a bit and at some point just stop working (though restarting seems to "fix" it)

the nice thing about the built-in functionality when it works is that no repl connection is necessary if one has an appropriate tags file.

@gerred would you be interested in porting the Atom kondo plugin to use the Language Server similarly as the VSCode extension does, so that it would work also on Windows?
