I've installed Visual Studio Code on Athena. This is an open-source,
modern code editor with built-in support for multiple languages such as
JavaScript, TypeScript and Node.js, with many extensions for other
languages.
To run it:
add vscode
code <options> (to run the GUI)
yo code (to run the extension generator)
Running the latter will take a while on first launch as it needs to
install files locally on your ~/.node_modules_global directory.
Subsequent launches should be significantly faster.
