A terminal text editor written in Zig. I'll try to keep this project building with the latest version of zig, but I do not really indend to work much more on this.
Things I remember about this editor:
- I was playing around with immutable data structures, so the entire editor
is based around this concept (See the immutable list implementation
here).
- This editor currently just leaks all its memory. The idea was to implement some manual garbage collector where the implementer would have to tag memory as alive themself and then they could run it to clean up the rest.
- There is also a terminal UI framework
in there that allows programmers
to statically declare the layout of the UI at compile time.
- In theory, the layout is completly seperated from the drawing of the layout, allowing for many backends. In practice, it might not be this simple though.
- There is also a terminal backend for this framework
- It nearly has no dependencies, only relying on glibc for 1 function.
