  • #text-editor
  • #plugins
  • #light-HolyCode
  • light ' HolyCode is designed for convenience first, speed second.
  • It has almost no runtime overhead for the editor.
  • light buffers code, displays it, and reads input asynchronously.
  • Controls are intuitive (Up, Down, Left, Right).
  • No modes like Vim/Neovim; everything happens in INSERT mode.
  • Supports plugins and shortcuts to modify DISPLAY_BUFFER.
  • Plugins alter DISPLAY_BUFFER based on input (e.g., line numbers, highlighting).
  • Shortcuts change DISPLAY_BUFFER attributes (e.g., Ctrl + L adds a line below).
  • Adding plugins and shortcuts is simple.
  • Used in Orthodox, a compiler under ~10,000 LOC.
