CudaText: Cross-platform, open source code editor written in Object Pascal

[abeppu]

I kept waiting for the part where they explain why the GPU is important, but no, the "cuda" part is from the Bosnian word for "wonder" or "miracle". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CudaText

This looks very nice - minor question: why are the binaries on sourceforge and not in the Github releases page? Only asking because I generally avoid sourceforge these days since it has a lot of rubbish on it :(

I wasn't aware of this editor, looks quite nice, might be the opensource Sublime Text alternative that I was looking for, thanks for sharing!

Same! and it works on OpenBSD supposedly. I can't wait to try this out this weekend.

Me thinking, whilst reading the HN title for this article:

"CudaText: Cross-platform, open source code editor..."

Me: "Meh, yet another open source code editor..."

"written in Object Pascal..."

Me: (as a long-time Delphi/FreePascal/Object Pascal programmer/afficionado):

"OK, NOW I WANT IT!!!"

:-) <g> :-)

Can you pitch Pascal to me? Why should it be my next language to learn?

I mostly work on MacOS these days and previously my general purpose text editor wax Textmate: https://github.com/textmate/textmate

Last official release was 2021, so I looked for something more regularely updated, and found CudaText. Definitely very Sublime-ish, and I like it so far.

Nice to see a cool looking cross platform editor written in Free Pascal with Lazarus. Pascal is a surprisingly expressive language.

Ex-Delphi code here, and I have to loudly disagree about Pascal being expressive (at least in the context of more modern languages). But I was, and remain, very fond of it.

(to the downvoter: my fave lang is Scala. That's expressive)

It's extremely fast and responsive. I keep meaning to explore it more...

You gotta rename this guy.

Imagine calling something PentiumText

[kstrauser]

I agree. This has nothing to do with a Mopar muscle car, or a fish.
