old Atari owners. I think this is kind of interesting also to others in
kind of a obscure "Oh Gosh, are people still doing stuff for
those" -way. :-))
There are no W users I know of, but I recently brushed the dust off the
code, updated it to build with latest GCC, liblua etc. and added Debian
packaging in case somebody wants to recapture the old feel of monochrome
graphics and W programming (it works on X using SDL):

And MiNT (the open source unix-like replacement for Atari TOS) is actually
still alive:

With EmuTOS, this meant that all the OS software was finally open source
(in beginning of this decade):

Some people with extra time are still even creating new Atari compatible
hardware:
http://acp.atari.org/about.html
Or modeling old ones in VHDL:

And there are several emulators for them too, either intended as a
replacement new Atari machines (similar to what Amiga Forever does):
http://aranym.org/
Or just emulating the old machines as well as possible:

...so that remaining demo coders can use it to do new Atari demos more
easily:
