A text editor written in JAI

No license · updated 11 months ago

ITOR

itor is a VIM-like, modal, text editor (attempt) written in JAI, that is mainly for education purposes. It is a result of my frustration with other editors.

Frustrations

Normally nvim would be sufficient, by for gods sake why LUA and **why overcomplication of plugins? **

Why do I need to have a plugin manager, that installs a package manager, that installs LSP? and more importantely, after all of that, WHY does it still fail to install because of unmet dependencies??

Why?

I just want an efficient way to:

  • write code,
  • with multiple buffers,
  • with basic syntax highlighting,
  • (very basic) Go-To-Definition,
  • fast Go-To-File,
  • and quick way to jump to terminals;

without getting hit in the face with exceptions of poorly documented plugins, that are impossible to configure, without a tutorial or diving into the repository, that is full of recursive, unnavigatable spagetti functions that cannot be tracked.

Build

Well, its Jai so just:

jai first.jai

Done. That is it.
