Wow - I didn't even think node.js was that old. It will be interesting to see its genesis. The first git commit for node appears to have been on Feb 16, 2009:

    commit 9d7895c567e8f38abfff35da1b6d6d6a0a06f9aa
    Author: Ryan <ry@tinyclouds.org>
    Date:   Mon Feb 16 01:02:00 2009 +0100

    add dependencies

I'm guessing the Atom project was WAY different back then, and has probably gone through several ground-up re-writes.

It probably started out as a Rails app, but then Node came along.

Gotta keep it relevant!
