Do you have a link that explains what atoms are? This is the first time I'm hearing about them.

Sort of. There’s a summary by the author of atoms in the Twitter thread linked above.

They also link this very lengthy blog post:

My understanding of atoms compared to flakes is that they 1) add toml 2) provide a more precise way to reference remote src.

The author also claims performance benefits. I haven’t used them personally and can’t speak to their stability or ergonomics.

Thanks!
