Careful with that. While working, that package in particular is pretty hacky. Atom doesn't have APIs yet to make implement rainbow parenthesis "the right way".

This write-up is amazing! Dear everyone reading this, from now on, please have more of a sense of humor and playfulness like Zach, instead of the self-important and dry stuff that typically gets posted here. This is literally the only post on HN that I read in its entirety in years.

I think it's that Swing isn't deprecated per se, more that it's unofficially deprecated by the fact that JavaFX is actively being worked on and pushed onto potential Swing users, while Swing just sort of stagnates.
I thought someone told SWT was dead too, but I checked the project page and they're still going. Last stable was a year ago, but latest dev release came out this month.

Wait, Swing is deprecated? That's news to me. I just rewrote a small GUI app in Java with Swing.
Any good resources for getting started with JavaFX? Looks like it can't use native controls...
