λ lambda

Next generation hackable text editor for nerds.

Let it be known!

Lambda is in very early stages at the moment. Features may change completely, or even be removed.
Don't expect lambda to stay the way it is. Updates are pushed often.

Overview

Lambda is a similar text editor to vim or kakoune.
However, it takes a different approach to most of the features seen in other editors.

• Lambda is written in Python, so it is easy to hack and learn.
  • It also has a good amount of comments!
• Lambda is incredibly modular, so you can easily add new features.
• 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 isn't limited to modes or keybindings.
  • Keybindings and modes can be easily changed
  • Other modes can be used by holding down keybindings (i.e. ctrl-x inside of insert mode)
• Lambda is extremely fast and makes use of efficient memory management.
  • Neovim is slow, and actually requires a plugin to speed it up.
• Lambda has much better default keybindings than other text editors.
