lite-lovr VS lite-xl

It's great to see lite on front page - such an incredible feat of engineering, making a cozy editor in less than 5k LoC of Lua (plus the C host). Robust text editing, syntax highlighting, command palette, pane splitting and management, plugin support and more. Writing plugins is simple and powerful.

The original lite and Lite XL are meant to run on desktops. I've recently started my own fork of lite[1] that allows it to run in VR environment. Once done I plan to use it as a competent editor for a VR-first development environment. I'm really digging the simplicity of Lua as a platform.

Another small, minimalist Lua-based text editor is Lite[1], and it's much less "light" cousin Lite-XL[2]

1. A text editor: This is where you'll write your code. There are many options to choose from, such as Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, or lite-xl.

lite-xl. VERY extensible, fast, all around great editor. https://lite-xl.com/

There are many text editors extensible in Lua or in Python. They generally don't allow messing with the innards as much (Firefox proved that's a double edge sword with its extension, it's not an unalloyed good).

And Emacs Lisp doesn't feel super accessible to most software developers under 40. Almost all its conventions come from a small little island, it's like marsupials in Australia, their own little parallel evolution.

Lite XL.
