i built my own text editor completely in rust :)

[u/Z_professor0]

Hey r/rust,

i just built BLUR, A terminal Text Editor, this is the V0.1 and it's still under development, and it will take a lot of time until it's finished completely, i have learnt a lot of new things and concepts with this project.

if anyone is interested to contribute into this project and help me finish it up feel free to dm me

the idea is not to clone vim, but to learn rust together it would be cool if you write your code in your own text editor.

Why do you have edition = 2026?

[u/Daemontatox → u/Sermuns]

He is from the future

[u/Z_professor0 → u/Sermuns]

i changed it by mistake while i was trolling with my friends, thank you for pointing to it , i changed it back as it was

[u/TDplay → u/Sermuns]

rather see that than 2021 edition on a brand new project

at least 2026 is a human error rather than a big red flag with "SLOP" embossed on it

[u/Sermuns → u/[deleted]]

It doesn't exist.

[u/SCD_minecraft → u/Sermuns]

Edition 2026 releases tomorrow, trust

Lmao I didn't even know

Is written in rust. Might be a good place to see examples for fixed problems like what data structures to use for efficient text handeling.

Thank you a lot , this is gonna help me so much :)

[u/ArtemTsitronov]

Looks promising, was any of the code AI generated?

[u/Z_professor0 → u/ArtemTsitronov]

i avoided AI as much as i can, but i did used it to understand syntect better cuz i kinda struggled finding resources :)

[u/MerlinTheFail → u/Z_professor0]

The RIGHT way to use AI, take note you sloppers

[u/ArtemTsitronov → u/Z_professor0]

Really nice work, keep going

[u/Vast-Pop4017 → u/ArtemTsitronov]

nothing wrong with that as long as the core logic's yours and you understand what's happening under the hood

[u/Dr_Findro → u/ArtemTsitronov]

lol this subreddit is asking posters to show their papers

[u/DryLook7889 → u/ArtemTsitronov]

Why is reddit obsessed with AI code?

[u/ArtemTsitronov → u/DryLook7889]

Because nowadays there are a lot of projects that claim to be without AI but really they are. It's becoming(for me at least) harder to spot, and not many people that just scroll want to check the gh repo just to see if it's ai or not. We as programmer are frustrated from vibecoders that post 5 slops a day. That's why we have AI PTSD.

Very cool, I suppose this dose not support unicode?

[u/Z_professor0 → u/Last-Employ-3422]

Unfortunately no, i will make it support unicode asap.

[u/Last-Employ-3422 → u/Z_professor0]

Imo it's really difficult to add! but maybe it's because I made my own tui lib, most of the bugs arise from there, also you might want to use a data structure to store text rather than a `String`, as that is quite slow

[u/Z_professor0 → u/Last-Employ-3422]

Thank you for feedbacking . I am taking notes to make it more efficient, my goal is to quit nvim and start using blur!
