Not all crashes in C or C++ can give you a meaningful stack trace. Lots of time there is heap corruption, or stack corruption. Safe Rust has the same properties as a managed language, one is going to spend an order of magnitude less time hunting for bugs.

Gotcha, thanks for clarifying!

I should have elaborated in my original comment. Next time!

Really? I take it to mean "fast and won't randomly segfault".

That should really apply to any systems language other than C for a text editor. As long as you have bounds checking and a test suite you're golden.

I can't remember the last time any C tool segfaulted on me

Author here. Thanks for all the feedback. I'm aware that Lapce lacks lots of basic stuff. It's a personal project so the initial set of features and key bindings are tight to my personal preferences. I'm currently working on the missing pieces, like multi cursor support(in master but not released yet), mouse support, sane default key bindings(probably I'll stick to an existing editor), basic UX etc. Feel free to subm…

This looks awesome!! The code editor space may seem saturated, but it's not! I've been looking for an alternative to VS Code for some time. Some things I'm really excited for: - Remote development as a first-class citizen! I use code-server a ton now, but getting away from browser jank would be nice. - In the future I wonder if something besides SSH would work for the connection. SSH doesn't handle bad connections or…

MOSH is not likely to be a supported protocol it seems, that would probably have been a good fit for your needs: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/33...

I installed it anyways. Seems fine so far.

I am unable to

Hmm. Don't know what to tell ya. Did you go into the extra options and tell it to bypass the warning?

As for whoever is downvoting my previous comment. Seriously?

I love that you're using Treesitter. I haven't followed the editor space much, but afaik, this is one of the first to implement it. The demos I'd seen were very impressive - definitely going to give it a shot!

Every editor supports it now

Which one is that?

What prompted you to develop it? The market for this is quite crowded with Atom and VS Code. Where you that dissatisfied with them? Just wondering.

I like that this is native though. VS Code is one of the rare good electron apps but native is still nicer IMO. Will give it a try.

Do you use Lapce to edit Lapce's source code?

Yes, for more than one year now.
