When Atom's author switched careers in late 2007 from logic design to [[Embedded systems|embedded software]] engineering, Atom was redesigned from an [[hardware description language|HDL]] to a [[___domain specific language]]

targeting [[Realtime computing|hard realtime]] embedded applications. As a result, Atom's compiler's primary objective changed from maximizing rule concurrency to balancing processing load and minimizing

[[Worst case execution time|worseworst case timing latency]]. In September 2008, Atom was presented at CUFP,<ref>[http://cufp.galois.com/2008/schedule.html Controlling Hybrid Vehicles with Haskell.]</ref>

and in April 2009, was released as open-source in its new form.<ref>[http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2009-April/060602.html ANN: atom-0.0.2]</ref>
