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. 
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/  
The one thing I miss from that feature list is a focus on #accessibility .

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

@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

@thewhalecc Unfortunately #Lapce stays behind #Zed in terms of usability term.

A modern open source code editor in Rust. Lightning-fast and Powerful. Quick from launch to every keystroke, and batteries included.

A few years ago I made a color theme for #VSCode, called "Faded Prism".

Now, in my never ending search for the best editor, I have ported it to both #Helix and #Lapce ! Helix now has it built-in, but you have to use the latest master for that. Lapce and VSCode are plugins:

I don't think anything "went wrong" at all, except a couple of behaviours that I didn't like. Something that comes to mind is how #lapce somehow ended the default program to open text files, which felt a bit overkill for me.

The keyboard shortcuts didn't work sometimes, only after clicking somewhere into the window. For a keyboard-centric user like me that felt irritating.

And eventually, I felt it was more akin to a GUI editor than an IDE much. And therefore not something I'm interested in, because I have that with (g) #vim and I don't need another one 🙂

But I also barely scratched the surface with lapce, so it's possible that it has a lot of functionality other people would like. It just wasn't my thing *enough* to keep at it. But there's certainly nothing wrong with it!
