I think this looks nicer than nano, all it needs is syntax highlighting

Sigh.

Well, no accounting for taste, makes GNU nano the better choice.

>>105922150
WAAAH I DONT LIKE THE COMPILER THAT MADE THAT x86_64 EXECUTABLE!!

I prefer micro.

>>105922119 (OP)
I prefer pico

it's a text editor. shove it.

>>105922175
There’s a serious concern that the project could be abandoned when ‘she’ self-terminates.

>>105922119 (OP)
No use case for this

>>105922150

Windows hasn't had a first-party CLI text editor since going 64-bit in Vista because the original Microsoft Edit was 16-bit and apparently they never figured out how to do a W16onW64 subsystem. Also it's dumb but typical for Microsoft to give this the exact same name as an existing orhter product of theirs.

wow, have we come full circle?
have zoomers and gen alpha rediscovered, and are glamorizing old DOS programs?

>>105922532
what's glamorizing about this? it's barely enough to get the job done but it's better than nothing which is what we've had for the past 20 years

>>105922359
>No use case for this
I want to agree with you.
In an ideal world everybody would use Linux, specially for server and remote management.
Unfortunatelly, in the real world, a lot of servers run on windows and are managed through powershell command line, with many tools requiring editing of text based config files and windows didn't have a built in terminal text editor.
Sure you could install nano/vim/emacs but not having something by default can be a problem for machines with strict 3rd party policies.

>>105922150
Yeah I was about to admit msedit is kind of cool before realizing it's rust troon slop.
>>105922532
Luke Smith already did that to zoomers 5 years ago. The only reason I understand linux to the degree I do is because that guy put me down a rabbit hole of sysadmin level tinkering.

>>105922538
>nothing which is what we've had for the past 20 years
and no one even noticed

>>105922532
this inst the real dos edit its a RIIR fake rubber stambed with the namek

>>105922268
While I usually use vi for a quick edit if I am having to write anything of length I too prefer pico/nano. The way it integrates Aspell is nice and makes for easy corrections.

cuck license

>>105922556
Significantly more headless and semi-headless Windows servers exist in the world than you'd think.

>>105922563
no, it's not GPL.

>>105922585
BSD license is infinitely more cucked than GPL

>>105922547
>Sure you could install nano/vim/emacs but not having something by default can be a problem for machines with strict 3rd party policies.
I just don't get why they waited until fucking 2025 to make a CLI text editor. This should've been in windows more than 20 years ago by default.

Microsoft is shitting themselves seeing linux is slowly getting popularity and are trying to adjust.

>>105922618
>>105922585
also Microsoft Edit is MIT licensed which is also more cucked than GPL

>>105922624
>Microsoft is shitting themselves seeing linux is slowly getting popularity and are trying to adjust.
MS edit has existed since 1991 retard

>>105922579
no they don't lmao

>>105922637
>MS edit has existed since 1991 retard
that shit doesn't even come installed by default except on DOS

>>105922662
nigger

you fags are on /g/ and you didn't even make your own text editor?

>>105922809
MS Edit is already perfect for quick edits
VS Code for coding.

>>105922830
my own editor is just as good, if not better, than ms edit. syntax highlighting, not made in rust, etc.

>>105922858
>not made in rust
yeah its rubbish lmao bro go buy an ad

You will never be a real programmer.

There's really no reason to use anything except
>emacs (if you want and are able)
>vim (everyone should know the basics)
>vs cooooode
>professional IDEs (visual sneed, jeetbrains etc) if your job calls for it

>>105922872
says the one shilling rust lmao, i'd prefer to use a language that isn't managed by people with a 41% suicide rate.

>>105922882
>muh tranny waa waa
Yeah, I can see why you will never be a real programmer. /pol/ brainrot will keep you permanently unemployable.

>>105922119 (OP)
I use ‘mg’ which is one of the micro emacs’ derivatives.
It’s also the only editor that worked telnetted into a windows machine if you set a
TERM to ANSI.

The original edit had this annoying quirk where if you opened the file pulldown the CPU went into a busy-wait. Didn’t matter in the olden days, but now it’s noticable.

Also, microsoft being a software company, you’d think they’d be able to (1) release the actual source code of the original edit
And (2) have the capabilities in that source code to do a search and replace on AX and replace it with RAX to upgrade it to 64 bits.
The current one is more about signalling to certain groups of people by using rust that they’re the “catcher” with their bloatware release of crap.

>>105922529
> needs unsafe
Go developer here.
Unsafe is often… very often… used to do things that the paternalistic language designing faggots couldn’t figure out how to let you do some things syntactically that you fucking need to do all the time unless you’re writing comp sci 101 toy programs.

Anothet thing unsafe is used for (relatedly) is the safe way is usually a performance and work nightmare, so just do it with unsafe and make it perform 100x better.

why is this a thing
oh right gpl

>>105922940
C# doesn't have this problem

>>105922532
windows desperately needed a built in cli editor and here it is. having to open notepad to edit a config file is fucking embarassing

>>105923048
C# is dead bro.
First the TS compiler
Now MSEdit

>>105922579
yeah its retarded that it took microdick like 15 years to make their server os usable via ssh

>>105922561
you just cant use vim

>>105922809
>>105922891
Why do people expect /g/ to make something anyway? If any of us where to make something, we wouldn't take credit here. Unless we're making it anonymously or don't have anything to lose.

>>105922809
>>105923163
i'm making an emacs..... i'm just starting tomorrow

>>105922119 (OP)
how does it compare to micro?

>>105922119 (OP)
it works like i would expect it would
which cannot be said for all the editors coming from linux developers with their insane hotkeys and weird quirks

> it just needs highlighting
> it just needs tabs
> it just needs tree-sitter
> it just needs file-explorer
> it just needs git support
> it just needs an email client
> it just needs web browser

>>105923275
That's because MS Edit was written by professional programmers
Vim/Shitmax was written by smelly freetards

>>105923102
This may sound silly but I don't like in vim how the word list replaces all the text on the screen. Maybe I am an idiot and didn't read the manual and it can be changed but the first time I tried it was like nope.
Thankfully the only thing I really need spell check for is the journal I write so it is not a huge deal.
I was thinking of trying the console word perfect for Linux port but I don't really need a full word processor.

>>105922333
Pretty much every built-in application on Windows is abandoned what are you talking about

>>105922175
Unfortunately this means that vulnerabilities stay unpatched until new versions of the software release... That ain't too good.

>>105922119 (OP)
Thanks, but I'm sticking with
