# λ Lambda
|
|
|
|
|
A next-generation hackable incredibly performant rust text editor for nerds.
|
|
|
|
|
> ⚠️ Lambda is in *very* early stages at the moment. Lambda's goals are still being decided and features may completely change.
|

|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
|
Lambda is a similar text editor to `vim` or `kakoune`, taking some ideas from `xi`.
|
|
|
|
|
The main goal is to build the best text editor possible by taking ideas from existing text editors and implementing them in the best possible way.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Lambda is written in Rust, so it's incredibly fast and logical
|
|
|
|
|
- It's also full of comments, so anyone can try and learn what it's doing
|
|
|
|
|
- Lambda is very modular, so features can be easily added
|
|
|
|
|
- Lambda follows the unix philosophy of "do one thing and do it well"
|
|
|
|
|
- It has no bloated features like splits or tabs
|
|
|
|
|
- It contains the bare necessities and provides a few extra modules
|
|
|
|
|
- Lambda has much better default keybindings than other text editors
