These days it feels like everyone and their son are building a new IDE (and I say this as someone who’s done the same haha).<p>Interestingly, they’re using graphics libraries like OpenGL&#x2F;Vulkan in Go. Like I originally was. But after a year of edge cases, I gave up and switched to Wails (using OS-native webviews). And I found that a good balance between avoiding the slowness and bloat of Electron, while not having to reimplement font atlases, Unicode rendering, and a million other things people take for granted these days.

This is cool, but I think I&#x27;ll stick with herdr and a separate browser and zed. Following the linux philosophy of using many tools that do their job well, rather than 1 tool that does everything poorly.

I assume this type of application is the new JavaScript frameworks for the near future.

That sideways traffic light means it&#x27;s for MacOS, I presume?

This looks really cool - but are we still doing TUIs?
