Written in describes implementation, not user-project language support. Project credits its Go implementation and the Gio graphical UI library. ## Console’s review — 2024-08-15 Reviewed: 2024-08-15 Author: [David Mytton]() Citation: [This review]() ### What we like Standard editor features like syntax highlighting, multiple cursors, remote file editing. Based around a UI model with windows and columns with extensive, efficient mouse support e.g. click and drag windows. Scrolling behavior is more useful for code editing. Retro built-in fixed-width font. Custom language for text operations. Has a REST API. ### Tradeoffs No official support for macOS (works on Linux & Windows). Is open source, but source isn’t on a code hosting provider (it is downloadable though). This review reflects Console’s assessment at publication on 2024-08-15.
