Atom can do this too, in its own way. If you add the "Script" package, you can select any block of code in Julia (or Python, or whatever) and press Ctrl+Shift+B to run it. The main difference that I can see is that LT shows you the answer in a pop-up while Atom shows the answer in a little split window at the bottom of the screen.
