Speaking of Lua and text editors, I've been keeping my eye on this for a while: http://code.google.com/p/textadept/ http://code.google.com/p/textadept/

- silentbicycle 16y agoI think it's a great project, but I've got different taste in editors than that person. I would love to have an Emacs-like editor (scriptable, multiple buffers, no GUI or menus) that 1. used Lua instead of elisp, and 2. had a vi-style modal keyboard interface rather than primarily chorded keys. Oh, and not being tied to GTK is nice - I like being able to use Emacs in shells, from screen/tmux, etc. One of these days I might give in and write one, but I've already got too many projects going.
- vito 16y agoAgreed. Being bound to GTK is no fun - I tried it on OS X and it was very sluggish and janky. Was very fun in Linux though.
- lemming 16y agoWow, I've been thinking about almost exactly this for a while now. I'll have to give this a try.
