#lapce — Public Fediverse posts

Giving #Lapce a try, so far I really like it. It's like a lighter weight #VSCode. I especially like that it doesn't seem to use #Electron.
The choice of #WASM as scripting language is interesting, I'll be curious to see how it fares for one-off scripting tasks.
I also like that it addresses my two biggest gripes with #Emacs: startup and input latency.
Also, no LLM crap being shoved in my face! I don't know if the company behind it is involved with genAI stuff, but if they are, at least they aren't shoving it into their editor. :neofox_uwu:
I also tried its modal editing mode, it's pretty nice being able to use some of the same commands that I'm used to from #DoomEmacs .
edit: Read the description of its #GUI backend, hecc, it ticks almost all of my boxes. https://lap.dev/floem/ :moomin_yay:
The one thing I miss from that feature list is a focus on #accessibility . :moomin_sad:

I was always curious about the Xi editor, sad that it never really took off. Just learned about Lapce, described as a “spiritual successor” to Xi

#Xi #Lapce #TextEditors

@mattesilver None. #RustRover is written in #Kotlin and has #JetBrains' own analyser for #Rust. Plus it's proper IDE, kind of heavy.

#Lapce, #Zed, #VSCode are editors running #rust-analyzer in the background using LSP. They're much more lightweight, less feature bloated.

It's really matter of taste and preference what to choose.

Asking as a long-term user of #jetbrains products: #rustrover or some alternative tool? #lapce #zed?

#rust #rustlang

With Open Source IDE: #Lapce - https://lapce.dev/

and the ubiquity of #SystemD #nspawn #containers , It is possible to have a bloat-free workstation on #Linux

Just use the nspawn container to store all the dev-related packages and use the remote/SSH connection feature of Lapce to connect to those containers.

Your workstation will stay 'clean' relative to a situation if you had Java, Ruby, NodeJS, Python, Go and Rust all installed directly on the workstation.

@xgebi I'm using #Helix https://helix-editor.com/ because it has great integration with language servers including rust-analyzer, but has completely different usage idioms. Other editors to try out would be #GnomeBuilder https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Builder or #Lapce https://lapce.dev/ - no idea about the current state though due to me not using them on a daily basis.

okay is there #RustAnalyzer for #lapce? #rust #rustlang
