/prog/ is going to write a text editor

First, we must agree on what language to write it in.

I nominate C, for efficiency purposes, and that I am most comfortable in it. I also nominate Scheme, because I am proficient in it.

text editor. why?

>>2

thats his homework assignment.

ENTERPRISE Java.

lol

>>3
If it were my homework assignment, I'd be writing it in a specific language.

>>2
Because the best we have is Emacs, which is just sad.

>>6
You don't understand Emacs.

>>7
You don't understand vim.

I nominate either C++ or Java, since I have to admit, my proficiency are in these two languages.

Languages nominated:
 * C
 * Scheme
 * C++
 * Java/Enterprise Java

/prog/ needs to write a file transfer protocol and implementation that doesn't suck dick.  If it's functional: SIcp.

>>10
Fuck off, this is the text editor thread.

I second C.

Now, will it uses ncurses, X (GTK, Qt, etc.), or something else for the interface? BTW, Win32 = DO NOT WANT. We are on Linux.

I had an idea a week or two ago about a thread where /prog/ writes an ANSI C compiler.., we'll see how this turns out first.

J2EE (using AspectJ and in J++, of course), storing all files as XML strings inlined as a cell in a RDMS. All screen formatting will be done in with a client-side BBCode implementation in JavaScript using XMLHttpRequest to fetch and instantly update the EnterpriseTextXML file from the web server that interfaces the database.

Example (code used to load a file):

SELECT Row00000002 from Table00000001 WHERE Row000000001 EQUALS "hello.EnterpriseTextXML";
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-32"?>
<TextFile>
  <UTF32Character CodePoint='00000048' />
  <UTF32Character CodePoint='00000065' />
  <UTF32Character CodePoint='0000006C' />
  <UTF32Character CodePoint='0000006C' />
  <UTF32Character CodePoint='0000006F' />
</TextFile>

lol lets program it in java darby :D

then we make java sprite pornography?

I AM ANTICIPATING THAT WE WILL NEED A VARIABLE AND A FUNCTION

>>15
I AM ANTICIPATING THE USE OF A LANGUAGE THAT DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO CHANGE VARIABLES. THUS WILL WILL NEED TWO FUNCTIONS (MY OTHER FUNCTION IS A LAMBDA).

>>16
YOUR MOTHER IS A FUNCTION

First, we must agree on what language to write it in.
No, first you must agree on what the fuck are its features, and, more importantly, why exactly it is not going to be just another failure of an editor.

>>18
How will we know what features we are able to implement if we don't know the language we're using.

>>19
Do you buy a car and then decide how many miles you drive to work in a day?

|How will we know what features we are able to implement if we don't know the language we're using.

exactly  you cant possibly say what the features are before you pick a language as it might not be possible to implement a certain feature in one language as oposssed to another 

>>20
Do you buy a car and then decide to take your cdr to work instead?

>>21
No, not "exactly". I was making fun of you faggots. You don't even know what you want in a text editor. Cart. Horse. Observe order.

>>23
YHBT. YHL. HAND.

This thread is now officially made of fail of epic proportions.

#!/bin/bash
ed

I've finished the text editor:

int fact(int n) {
    if (n<=1) return 1; else return (n * fact(n-1)); }

>>27

shit wht the hell hve you don e to my computer this keyboard is fuced

>>26
#!/bin/sh
/bin/ed
Fixed, you faggot. If you're going to use the standard text editor, use the fucking standard shell.

>>29
bash is standard, you fool.

Write a clone of EMACS using HASKELL NOMADS.

>>29
EVERYONE USES LINUX YOU FAGGET. WHAT DO YOU THINK /bin/sh IS SYMLINKED TO?

>>27
Oh yO u g Ot mE.

>>30
Only on shitty-ass piles of trash. Go suck Torvald's dick or something, faggot, you're not wanted here.

>>34
YHBT, YHL, HAND.

HAY GUYS WHAT I WOULD LIKE IN AN EDITOR, WHICH EMACS MAY HAVE ALREAFDY BUT I HAVE NOT LEARNED EMACS, IS THE ABILITY TO PIPE THE CURRENT BUFFER THROUGH SOMETHING AND FOR THE OUTPUT TO BE PLACED IN A NEW BUFFER OR OVERRIDE THE CURRENT. THEN YOU COULD GREP AND CUT AND SED AND DO LOADS OF STUFF WITH YOUR BUFFER. OR YOU COULD JUST DO IT WITH A SELECTION, AND THEN IT OVERRIDES THE SELECTOIN WITH THE OUTPUT OF THE PIPED COMMAND. IS THAT AEWSOME OR WHAT?

>>36
Yes, that is quite awesome. Of course, Emacs already does that, e.g.:
!!morse -s|tr -d \\n
or
:%!sort

>>36
Nope, they already tried that on Mythbusters.

Guise, I just wanted us to decide on language based on the fact that if we have a shitton of C programmers and 3 Java programmers, it makes sense to write it in C.

PROJECT APPROVED

CODING COMMENCES AT 1800 EST TODAY. BE THERE OR BE SQUARE

>>36
I don't understand, somebody please rewrite in plain English ;_;

Why write another text editor, when there is already Emacs. Why not write something useful, like a good scheme-mode for Emacs. Something like SLIME except for Scheme.

Or bbcode-mode.

Or vi-mode

>>44
M-x viper-more

Or ed-mode

Because Emacs is shit

Because Emacs is the shit

Because Emacs is the horse shit

>>48
And to think I almost added `and no, not the shit' to my post.

WHAT

MAKE IT IN C++, FAGGOTS

>>51
I'M A C++ FAGGOT

HAY GUYS IM CHARLIE BROWN. YOU MAY KNOW ME FROM PEANUTS. I HEARTILY ENDORSE /PROG/'S OWN EDITOR

>>47
I have a theory that no one who dislikes Emacs can make a decent text editor.

>>54
I have a theory that no one who likes Emacs can like an editor made by someone who dislikes Emacs.

Emacs is the superset of all editors

IT IS TO BE WRITTEN IN SCHEME

Who cares about the fucking language? What are the features that are going to make this editor worth using?

>>58
IT WILL BE FULLY SUSSMAN-COMPLIANT

>>58
It will be harder to use than emacs, vi and ed. Learning it takes about 10 years. But it makes you more productive.

WILL IT SUPPORT THE FORCED INDENTATION OF CODE?

/prog/ could technically never produce an editor because if all /prog/rammers would agree on ONE set of functions for a text editor it would create a temporal parafoxx and they would all yell to their cabby 'yo homes, smell ya later', then look at their kingdom and they would finally be there, to sit on their throne as the prince of bel air

>>62
Leave, please.

>>61
It will be incredibly hard to use, have arbitrary restrictions, only support Scheme, and forcibly indent anything it detects not to be Scheme so the code is useless.

The help will be SICP. nothing more. nothing less

We will design and implement a set of library routines. Each user shall then construct their own editor from those library routines. Language portability is ensured by using C as primary implementation language; there are FFI-type bindings to C from nearly anything not-C.

>>66
That is not Scheme.

Some faggot told /pr/ about our glorious text editor plan

Let's just port emacs from Common Lisp to Scheme.

>>69
WHAT? SHUT UP

>>68
...what were YOU doing in /pr/?

A-HA! THE TRAITOR IS EXPOSED!

>>68
YOU PRICK WHAT WERE YOU DOING IN /pr/

NOW THE AIDS WILL SPREAD AND WE WILL HAVE TO CLEANSE THE BOARDS

There are four engineers traveling in a car -- a mechanical engineer,
a chemical engineer, an electrical engineer, and a computer engineer. The car breaks down.

"Sounds to me as if the pistons have seized. We'll have to strip
down the engine before we can get the car working again", says the
mechanical engineer.

"Well", says the chemical engineer, "it sounded to me as if the fuel
might be contaminated. I think we should clear out the fuel system."

"I thought it might be an grounding problem", says the electrical
engineer, "or maybe a faulty plug lead."

They all turn to the computer scientist, who up to then had said
nothing, and asked "Well, what do you think?"

"I put on my wizard robe and hat. My other car is a cdr." The computer scientist pulls out a cudder from his pocket, and shoves it down the throats of the engineers. "Take that, motherfuckers!!!!"
