Lapce is written in pure Rust, with the UI in Druid. It uses Xi-Editor's Rope Science for text editing, and the Wgpu Graphics API for rendering. More information can be found on the website.
- Modal Editing (Vim like) support as first class citizen (can be turned off as well)
- Built-in LSP (Language Server Protocol) support to give you code intelligence like code completion, diagnostics and code actions etc.
- Built-in remote development support (inspired by VSCode Remote Development) for a seamless "local" experience, benefiting from the full power of the remote system.
- Plugins can be written in programming languages that can compile to the WASI format (C, Rust, AssemblyScript)
- Built-in terminal, so you can execute commands in your workspace, without leaving Lapce.
