- shalabhc 10y agoOver at howl.io we've been working on another Lua/moonscript based editor. Incidentally it used scintilla as well until we switched to an in-house engine called aullar. The author wrote a blog post about it: https://howl.io/blog/2016/05/26/introducing-aullar.html https://howl.io/blog/2016/05/26/introducing-aullar.html
