Thoughts on some of the actively developed text editors written in Rust?

• lapce

  178 33,269 9.7 Rust

  Lightning-fast and Powerful Code Editor written in Rust

  

What about lapce? Pure rust, uses druid for gui, tree-sitter for highlighting, and has Lsp built in

• amp

  A complete text editor for your terminal. (by jmacdonald)

• kibi

  A text editor in ≤1024 lines of code, written in Rust

kibi

• pepper

  Discontinued simple and opinionated modal code editor for your terminal

• remacs

  19 4,570 1.8 Emacs Lisp

  Rust :heart: Emacs

  

Rust Emacs was also an interesting project.

• xi-editor

  42 19,807 2.6 Rust

  A modern editor with a backend written in Rust.

  

Has everyone already forgotten about xi-editor? I think it was the most promising one of the pack and even thought it is not actively developed now it's still a wonderful piece of software surpassing the mentioned editors. I hope it will be back on track someday

  A modern take on 'ed'

• ox

• glyph

  1 150 0.0 Rust

  My own personal code editor built with Rust + OpenGL (by zackradisic)

I was kind of dissatisfied with all the existing editors out there so I thought it would be a fun little project to build my own personal code editor. You can check it out here.

• dotfiles

  13 94 9.6 Lua

  ❄️ My dotfiles for NixOS and macOS as a Nix flake. Neovim, Fish shell, Wezterm, etc. (by mrjones2014)

• coc.nvim

  320 24,025 9.0 TypeScript

  Nodejs extension host for vim & neovim, load extensions like VSCode and host language servers.

  

If you have a LSP implementation you can have this kind of setup for any language. I use coc.nvim for this. It works equally well for me in both rust and c++. Haven't really tried with other languages, but a lot of languages are supported out of the box and you can configure the plugin to work with other languages too if they have appropriate tooling.

• zee

  12 744 6.4 Rust

  Discontinued A modern text editor for the terminal written in Rust [Moved to: https://github.com/zee-editor/zee] (by mcobzarenco)

  

One more for the list - I started https://github.com/mcobzarenco/zee last year after trying to contribute to xi-editor, but it was discontinued and I have been disheartened by the architecture and how it makes simple things unnecessarily hard (search issues for soft inserts for example)

• neovide

  110 12,108 9.2 Rust

  No Nonsense Neovim Client in Rust

  

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the neovide Rust wrapper on Neovim. It's maybe a bit out of scope for this question, since only the front-end is Rust, but it's pretty ossum. I'm seeing folks in the Neovim community wishing they had some of neovide's bling.
