I didn't know what beautiful JS code looked like until I started reading CodeMirror while debugging an issue. After reading through Atom's code, I was really surprised how simple CodeMirror's code was—with minimal abstractions and flat functions.

Thanks! It's going to get a little more abstract in v6 (but only where the abstractions carry their weight).

i'm sure the abstractions will increase out of necessity. it was just nice for once to warily peek into the code of a great product and see a single, well organized ~9k line file of small functions that I could follow with relative ease. best wishes on the new version!
