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

Getting started

You'll need cargo (ideally from rustup) and an up to date version of rust.

git clone https://github.com/SpyHoodle/lambda.git # Clone the repositiory
cargo run # Build and run lambda!
