What is Nuclide?
Nuclide is an integrated development environment (IDE) built on top of GitHub's Atom text editor. It was originally created by Facebook for developing React Native mobile applications, but has since expanded to support additional programming languages and frameworks.
Some key features of Nuclide include:
- Remote development - Develop code residing on a remote server or virtual machine directly from the IDE
- Debugging - Debug Node.js, React Native, Python, and other application types
- Code linting - Inline linting and error detection for improved code quality
- Hack language support - Syntax highlighting, autocompletion for Facebook's Hack programming language
- File system navigation - Easily browse and open files from a remote server
While Nuclide was created for React Native development, its extensible architecture allows it to support many other frameworks and languages via add-ons. This makes Nuclide a high-quality, generic IDE great for many types of development scenarios.
