harlequin VS textadept

For the past four months I've been working (part-time, this is OSS after all) on Harlequin, a SQL IDE for DuckDB that runs in your terminal. I built this because I work in Data, and I found myself often reaching for the DuckDB CLI to quickly query CSV or Parquet data, but then hitting a wall when using the DuckDB CLI as my queries got more complex and my result sets got larger.

Harlequin is a drop-in replacement for the DuckDB CLI that runs in any terminal (even over SSH), but adds a browsable data catalog, full-powered text editor (with multiple buffer support), and a scrollable results viewer that can display thousands of records.

Harlequin is written in Python, using the Textual framework. It's licensed under MIT.

Today I released v1.0.0, and I'm excited to share Harlequin with HN for the first time. You can try it out with `pip install harlequin`, or visit https://harlequin.sh for docs and other info.

Or "Geany IDE" on desktop environment (while waiting for lapce.dev to get better), I tend to stay away as much as possible from VS Codium, but everyone else seems to love it and already forgot about Atom, few seems to realise how Microsoft really is.

Maybe the plot twist is that you have to accept in your heart that "writing text on anything, is the real IDE", and transcend to writing on nano!

Looks interesting. Especially in terms of its customisability, this reminds me a bit of Textadept, another Lua-based editor: https://orbitalquark.github.io/textadept/

Textadept has both TUI and GUI, and is Free Software: https://orbitalquark.github.io/textadept/

The way it works is that its creator made a TUI implementation if the GUI library he used for the graphical version, so you have the same menus etc.

Textadept -https://orbitalquark.github.io/textadept/ - does this out of the box but I couldn't get on with it.
