Suggestions for building an IDE

• xi-editor

  18 19,713 5.9 Rust

  A modern editor with a backend written in Rust.

  

  Oh I didn't realize that it might have been a serious question, I'm too unfamiliar with the domain to not make stupid misinterpretations it seems, really sorry about that. Anyway no, that's a good suggestion, I think starting there makes the most sense but I'm having some decision-anxiety about where to start. I think xi-editor is likely to be the best place to start constructing an editor without making the project impossible to finish

• ride

  1 171 1.7 C++

  Ride IDE (by madeso)

  I can live with minimal feature-sets as long as my main workflow is fast and convenient, but implementing these features in a reasonable way is somewhat beyond me at the moment, I've previously looked at the code-bases of ride, helix, and SolidOak where SolidOak is by far the most accessible starting point, it solves the problem of vim-bindings right off the bat, then again packaging vim isn't as fun or educational than starting with less.

• InfluxDB

  A post-modern modal text editor.

• language-server-protocol

  59 9,139 2.0 HTML

  Defines a common protocol for language servers.

  

  My initial thoughts are using something like the xi-editor or parts from it for text manipulation, some rust GUI framework for rendering, like egui or iced, for more language contextual actions like autocomplete I think I'd have to look into the LSP.

• vixi

  1 343 2.2 Rust

  A vim like client for the xi backend
