  Discontinued An old project from my first uni days

DOS-based GUIs were the rage in its days.

In 1999 I coded a graphical environment for DOS using Borland's BGI in Turbo Pascal. I even used it in one of my uni assignments[0].

I still remember some afternoons in the library, helping pals with linked lists basics and finetuning my textbox scroll code. Good times.

  Infinite canvas drawing/whiteboarding app for Windows, Linux and macOS. Made with Godot.

Completely agreed! I've been meaning to write a blog post on using Godot to professionally create cross-platform applications (and probably will soon). The short of it is that Godot is fantastic as a UI builder, and I think a lot of people are slowly realizing it. Many professional applications have been built with Godot[0] , and I also want to give a shoutout to Lorien[1] which is my favorite whiteboard application also made in Godot, and what partially inspired this whole project.

  Fork of gdwlroots to be used with Simula.

  

> Just the other day I was wondering - what would it take to develop a Linux WM in Godot?

It bas been done :

But it is not up to date with Godot 4. You can have your Firefox or Blender window be a regular texture inside a full Godot game, pretty crazy...

• Visual Studio Code

  2,840 158,095 10.0 TypeScript

  Visual Studio Code

  

In a 2022 Github issue someone profiled VS Code which resulted in 12ms avg. latency on an i7-12700KF released in 2021 [1].

If those results are even remotely representative of real-world scenarios then VS Code can't come close to intelliJ performance.
