I'm so conflicted about this. On one hand, having the "engine" written in Rust, and the frontend written in language suitable for writing a GUI, per platform, is a sound architectural choice. On the other hand, if there's one type of open source applications we have enough to choose from already, it's editors. If it's for fun and the educational process, then by all means, that's swell.
Bui if it's because the world needs yet another editor, just because it can be written in Rust, I'm not so sure.
- akmittal 9y agoWe have plenty of editors to choose from but we might use a Editor which has VSCode/Atom features+customization and vim performance.
- dsego 9y agoProbably none of them got it quite right then. There are people who want a lightweight but extendable GUI editor. The fact that people, including me, pay for Sublime Text, when there are powerful open-source alternatives around, kinda proves that there is a demand for such a thing.
