  • Lite XL: A lightweight text editor written in Lua
    6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 27 Sep 2021
    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.
