lite VS Visual Studio Code

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

Playing with browser developer tools and always seeing obfuscated JavaScript makes me sad. I'm not a web developer, but I suspect the security gained is low enough to fall within the author's "unnecessary constraints."

On the other hand, there are projects like https://github.com/rxi/lite

Beyond the rendering which as noted is nothing that hasn't been done before (in general) the inherent OT/multi user + tree sitter functionality is something that entices me.

I'm surprised nobody pointed out lite/litexl here either it's rendering of ui is very similar (although fonts are via a texture; like a game would) and doesn't focus overly on the GPU but optimises those paths like games circa directx9/opengl 1.3

https://github.com/rxi/lite/blob/master/src/renderer.h

> is using pure software rendering (on top of SDL) in a rather naïve fashion

https://github.com/rxi/lite/blob/master/src/rencache.c#L4

I think you'll find that they found the naive approach was sufficiently poor, performance wise, that additional optimizations had to be applied on-top.

> But for quick hacking / porting old demos / writing emulators and also text based UI it can be fast enough.

If you want to use it, use it. It's 'good enough'...

How about lite https://github.com/rxi/lite

You have options: - Sublime Text - VsCodium - Lite - https://github.com/rxi/lite

I like the single lapce.exe and loads reasonably fast.

But this is in a pre pre-alpha stage, so many bugs it's far too early for public feedback. It loads reasonably fast except chrome stats in top left then jerks towards the center. The start page says to bring up the command palette which I was unable to navigate via keyboard.

The open file dialog takes an eternity to load the first time, the path is in a text box that's not editable. Focusing a text file gives an Insert cursor which is in text mode, there's a noticable slow delay before writing the first character, text selection is non existent so lacks basic text editing features.

There is a built-in terminal however there's only a single tab.

The only thing that gives it potential is that the folder/file browsing is super quick even with a node_modules folder so it might be built on efficient rendering that can be improved.

Even for such a basic editor it's 38mb download. For a far smaller + more complete editor checkout Lite:

I was doing it all wrong, designing and developing on the fly, using the same tool - VScode; Making one step forward and ten back when I mess up with good code while trying to get rid of the bad. I had gotten away with it for three pages, but it had finally caught up with me.

VSCode

IDE: Many IDES can be used with Flutter but the two most common ones are; Android Studio and Visual Studio Code (VS code). We will work through the setup of VS Code in this article. To download VS Code, just click on Visual Studio Code if you are on Windows or Visual Studio Code for iOS

Excellent!

FWIW, here's the link to troubleshooting vs code performance issues from the project's GitHub Wiki:

IDE of choice (e.g. Visual Studio Code)

When working in Visual Studio Code (VS Code), start by creating a new Python file for your registration form project. It's helpful to have separate files for different parts of your project.

TIP: Depending on the length of your README, including a table of contents here would be a great addition. You can do this manually, or if you are using VSCode, you can add a TOC that automatically updates as you edit the file using the Markdown All-In-One plugin.
