clp VS textadept

I used luajit to write an alternative to bat because it was annoyingly slow for large files. It ended up being like 15 times faster. Such a cool language!

There’s a related project that’s really cool called scintillua that lets you use lpeg lexers for scintilla. It supports over 120 languages and it’s super easy to add new ones.

You can also use it as a standalone lua library. I packaged it up to make a faster (but much less feature full) alternative to bat.

a fast alternative to bat for syntax highlighting in the command line (eg for fzf preview window)

It's super fast and has some really interesting libraries. I used parsing expression grammars to write a faster alternative to bat.

I recently made a project that uses a lua library to lex source files, then writes them out to stdout with syntax highlighting. Long story short at this point in my code I have a big indexed table of token names and positions. I just iterate over the token names and io.write an ANSI escape sequence that corresponds to the color type of token (simple table lookup), and then io.write the tokenized text.

I recently learned more Makefiles by using them for a recent project of mine. I wish I had seen this when I was working on it! I learned (stole) from the musl libc configure script and makefile instead.

Makefiles aren't as easy to work with as alternatives in other language ecosystems, but I found they let me do a lot without the need for extra dependencies.

Coincidentally the author of this blog post commented on one of my reddit posts and helped me work out a few kinks in the project.

Hello! I'm working on a small project that just highlights source files and writes them to stdout: https://github.com/jpe90/clp

- Textadept: https://github.com/orbitalquark/textadept

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.
