edwood

Go port of Rob Pike's Acme editor. Derived from ProjectSerenity but now increasingly divergent. ProjectSerenity was itself a transliteration of the original Acme and libframe C code from plan9port

Named edwood in celebration of the formative influence of Ed Wood on Plan9 and the truth of ed-iting.

Note that Edwood (as with Acme) requires some infrastructure from plan9port: in particular devdraw and the p9p font server. So to actually use this, you'll want to install plan9port first.

Status

Edwood is not yet ready for use but is getting close to being actually useful. The useful milestone will offer the following:

• editing experience effectively identical to Acme
• support for win and other filesystem clients
• but... buggy

Roadmap

• Get to useful.
• More idiomatic Go.
• Fix bugs.
• API modernization
