#+TITLE: Text Editors

Text editors control the way you interface with written content. For programmers, this is the vast majority of the content they create, develop, and perhaps consume.

- [[https://github.com/xi-editor/xi-editor][Xi]] :: is a flexible editor with a modular approach to construction; if you implement Xi's protocol, you can use any user interface that calls back to Xi on the backend. However, it's plagued with latency issues.
https://github.com/LightTable/LightTable
- [[https://github.com/hundredrabbits/Left][Left]] :: A simple, minimal writing tool without the distractions
- [[https://github.com/yi-editor/yi][Yi]] :: A modular collection of packages for creating your own text editor in Haskell.
- [[https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor][Leo]] :: Python-based personal information manager

** live programming editor research
Excited to present our paper on "Example-Based Live Programming for Everyone" at Onward!/@splashcon! Together with our @HPI_DE students, we explored how language-agnostic tools for #LiveProgramming can be built with the #LSP and @GraalVM. 🛠🚀

https://hazel.org/: a live fp environment featuring type holes with a language built around filling them.

https://ash-k.itch.io/textreme an energetic text editor

** General Idea
- build to be language agnostic: use a plugin system to support other programs out of the box
- Abandon the file structure: we can do much more faster if we abandon files and use semantic structures relevant to the programming languages. We're building a data manipulation framework, and the plugins define the constraints for manipulating the data
- improve traversal and visualization of these data structures

Slicing is one of those obviously good ideas that never panned out b/c the human factors are tricky (see also: software visualization). https://t.co/Q798yj9byW" / Twitter]]
