  • helix

    A post-modern modal text editor.

  • I'm admittedly not too familiar with the UI code, but it is associated with graphics.rs, view.rs, and tree.rs. graphics.rs contains the layout primitives. view.rs contains the View struct which is the view state of each Document; it is often used to find the Document currently in focus. tree.rs is complex and it handles the actual layout. How this is rendered is up to the dependent crate, but in helix-term we define a Component trait which is registered with the Compositor. It iterates over each Component and renders it.

  • Rhai

    Rhai - An embedded scripting language for Rust.

  • We were also considering https://crates.io/crates/rhai. Ultimately, we don't want to face the burden of maintaining a language should it get abandoned.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • telescope.nvim

    Find, Filter, Preview, Pick. All lua, all the time.

  • Do you have a plan how to make all configurations of the editor introspectable (or ideally editable and storable for later lookup [say for project-specific bindings/language-specific ones])? This is a big pain in neovim, where default bindings are not searchable. For inspiration: https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim is extremely useful, since it provides introspection into many things.

  • rune

    An embeddable dynamic programming language for Rust. (by rune-rs)

  • From my experience, I've enjoyed using https://github.com/rune-rs/rune. Sadly it has the same issues as Rhai in that it has a higher chance of it being abandoned relative to a lisp / Lua.

  • RustPython

    A Python Interpreter written in Rust

  • One good choice might be RustPython, which compiles to WASM.
