Dongdong Zhou released #Lapce version 0.4.6. https://lapce.dev/

I was always curious about the Xi editor, sad that it never really took off. Just learned about Lapce, described as a “spiritual successor” to Xi

#Xi #Lapce #TextEditors

@mattesilver None. #RustRover is written in #Kotlin and has #JetBrains' own analyser for #Rust. Plus it's proper IDE, kind of heavy.

#Lapce, #Zed, #VSCode are editors running #rust-analyzer in the background using LSP. They're much more lightweight, less feature bloated.

It's really matter of taste and preference what to choose.

Asking as a long-term user of #jetbrains products: #rustrover or some alternative tool? #lapce #zed?

#rust #rustlang

@thewhalecc Unfortunately #Lapce stays behind #Zed in terms of usability term.

A modern open source code editor in Rust. Lightning-fast and Powerful. Quick from launch to every keystroke, and batteries included.

A few years ago I made a color theme for #VSCode, called "Faded Prism".

Now, in my never ending search for the best editor, I have ported it to both #Helix and #Lapce ! Helix now has it built-in, but you have to use the latest master for that. Lapce and VSCode are plugins:

I don't think anything "went wrong" at all, except a couple of behaviours that I didn't like. Something that comes to mind is how #lapce somehow ended the default program to open text files, which felt a bit overkill for me.

The keyboard shortcuts didn't work sometimes, only after clicking somewhere into the window. For a keyboard-centric user like me that felt irritating.

And eventually, I felt it was more akin to a GUI editor than an IDE much. And therefore not something I'm interested in, because I have that with (g) #vim and I don't need another one 🙂

But I also barely scratched the surface with lapce, so it's possible that it has a lot of functionality other people would like. It just wasn't my thing *enough* to keep at it. But there's certainly nothing wrong with it!

Dongdong Zhou released #Lapce version 0.4.5. https://lapce.dev/

@argv_minus_one @shye

I agree. I tried #lapce but I've eventually given up and now I just use #vim . It's a shame that we don't have good IDEs.

I haven't tried Kate but isn't that more an editor than a full-fledged IDE?

Dongdong Zhou released #Lapce version 0.4.3. https://lapce.dev/

and while i'm on about editors, i've been using the heck out of #zed. working across mutliple projects with it is a bit wonky but it does the job and it's fast enough.

i was recommended #lapce but it lacks an ansible plugin so i didn't stick with it. i suppose i could use a yaml plugin instead?

Polling about newer editors: which do you prefer? Please feel free to boost :boost_ok: and comment. #zed #helix #vim #kakoune #lapce

As a #programmer but #beginner I already know that documentation is important: that's why I'll make a website to document my adventures and potential progress.
If you have any resources that you think could help me, do not hesitate a second!
If you have any tools to advise, do not hesitate a second!
I'm considering using :fedora: #fedora #Kinoite with #toolbx or something like #RockyLinux (but if you have other distros to advise, tell me) with :kdevelop: #kdevelop #codelite for C++, #spyder or #pycharm for Python 🐍 and #rustrover or #lapce for Rust 🦀 and :kate: #kateeditor for simple file edition.

Today I gave #lapce editor another chance.
It took me about 5min of messing around with it to realize it is simply not ready yet, as much as I want it to be.

The UI is way too buggy, my keyboard wasn't working(!) And the plugin ecosystem isn't ready yet as there is no plugin manager.

I hope it gets ready one day as a better vscode alternative.

@robcornelius You can try https://github.com/lapce/lapce.

But I am not sure wether react is atually supported. But that editor is fast. Clutterfree, in ways similar to VSCode. Languageserver support. And full open source, written in rust and GPU accelerated. It’s worth to give it a try. Development is active, so it evolves.

#Lapce

Are you sick of all that clutter and annoying Microsoft-Fuckup in Visual Studio Code? #VSCode #Lapce

For some of you I have good news. Lapce is a full open source Code editor entirey written in #rust. It‘s fast and peaceful. No annoying popups all the time. A really silent and clean design. This editor truly gives you peace while you can focus entirely on your work. It’s active in development. And already a lot of languages are well supported.

I love it!

En lo que va depurándose el script por cuarta vez (esto creo que ya casi está):

Como necesitaba modificar código, por no complicarme la vida bajando mis dotfiles de Neovim en la VM he acabado instalando #Lapce. Está bonita, pones "./lapce" en la consola y antes de que levantes el dedo de la tecla Enter ya se ha abierto la ventana principal. Como debe ser.
