Energizing Atom with V8's custom startup snapshot

So this is basically the emacs startup hack? Ugh.

Can we just compile js to bytecode? It's silly making huge apps in a language that has to be parsed and compiled on the fly

Sorry, but what an incredible kludge.

There are only so many brain cells on earth, can we stop using them to make javascript things on the desktop slightly less slow? Let's just not use it.
