Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

A nano like text editor built with pure C
Neat, I am a fan of minimalist text editors. There is also uEmacs: https://github.com/torvalds/uemacs
- Linus UEmacs
-
How many years have you been using Emacs?
maybe you're talking about the uEmacs Linus Torvalds still uses today? it's still maintained by him to fit his needs: https://github.com/torvalds/uemacs
-
Glory to Vim!
u/DellOptiplexFan Ironic, since the literal creator of Linux uses a fork of microemacs https://github.com/torvalds/uemacs
-
what terminal editor was intended to replace emacs in macOS with emacs bindings?
Torvalds's Emacs is nice. https://github.com/torvalds/uemacs
-
I just learned that new Macs don't come with Emacs preinstalled
Looks like he uses a thing called uEmacs.
-
Setting up a fundraiser for multi-threaded Emacs, any thoughts on this?
Why don't you ask Linus? Or even better, read his motivation in his fork of microemacs (not GNU Emacs).
-
Sunsetting Atom Text Editor
He doesn't. Linus uses MicroEMACS [0], which is an entirely different editor that uses emacs bindings.
It's not the lisp machine that incidentally happens to edit code that GNU Emacs is.
Or, as he puts it [1]:
> I use this abomination called "micro-emacs", which has absolutely nothing to do with GNU emacs except that some of the key bindings are similar.
[0]: https://github.com/torvalds/uemacs
- Starting emacs without any Elisp and only the C-core?
-
Linus thinks emacs is terrible
Then on the other hand he has his own fork of µEmacs: https://github.com/torvalds/uemacs

A nano like text editor built with pure C
Most of that is probably attributable to being based on Kilo: https://github.com/antirez/kilo (kinda strange they didn't link directly in their readme) - a tiny text editor written by antirez who notably also created Redis. Antirez has a bunch of really interesting side projects if you dig into their github repo.

Micro – A Modern Alternative to Nano
Yeah, "micro" for an editor would be 11 kilo bytes. I bet it's possible to do a half-decent editor in C in 11KB. Antirez's "kilo" (~1000 lines of C) is 36KB when compiled with standard gcc (https://github.com/antirez/kilo).
That said, for many server-type use cases these days, 11MB isn't a huge deal. Still, I wonder if micro could be compiled on / ported to TinyGo and end up a few hundred KB? It looks like TinyGo can produce some pretty small binaries: https://tinygo.org/docs/guides/optimizing-binaries/
- Ask HN: Does this exist? Courses explaining well written codebases?
-
What happens when you press a key in your terminal?
Anyone interested in the machinations of all of this terminal stuff should look at antirez’ kilo, a terminal text editor in under 1000 lines of code: https://github.com/antirez/kilo
There is a nice tutorial that walks through how one might write it from scratch: https://viewsourcecode.org/snaptoken/kilo/

A simple terminal game
I always wondered how people get stuff animated on the terminal but I never had the time to look into it up until a few years ago when someone on the internet released an awesome guide on how to create a text editor in less than 1000 lines of C. What caught my attention about this was that it was based on Antirez' kilo - which is a terminal based editor.
-
Ask HN: How to learn about text editor architectures and implementations?
You could start by looking at something super simple like Kilo:
https://github.com/antirez/kilo
Even I could understand this one pretty well and that's no small matter.

Ginkgo: A WIP small text editor built entirely in Rust with cursor control and select Vim features
I just started learning Rust 2 weeks ago, and I wanted to apply my learning towards a project.Ginkgo is a small text editor built entirely in Rust. It takes inspiration from the famous tiny C-based text editor, Kilo. It also includes many Vim inspired keybindings and features such as normal/insert modes. For convenience, it also has added mouse cursor support!
- What would one need to know in order to develop an in-shell VIM like code editor?
