Project mention: The IDEs we had 30 years ago and we lost | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-28

I agree with the article. Turbo Pascal was terrific. There is some kind of psychological thing that has me using neovim in a terminal all the time for many years.
I guess it's convenient for ssh. But I miss the conveniences of Borland IDEs. Even last night I was working on a web application and was tempted to add a menu at the top of the page, remembering how useful they were back in Turbo Pascal and such.
I did a Google search and found this https://github.com/skywind3000/vim-quickui

Project mention: Vim C API | /r/vim | 2023-05-30

I am working on a hobby project in which I need to simulate vim motions outside of vim. I need some API that have functions that would take as input a text, some vim mode and a key (or sequence of keys) and return what is the output text and vim mode. It could be in Rust, C or C++. I tried using libvim (https://github.com/onivim/libvim) but it is way more than I want (and also, I am having a hard time to build it on my machine). Are there any other alternatives?
