Ask HN: TUI C/C++ IDEs in 2024 which are not Vim/Emacs?
Are there any useable TUI C/C++ IDEs for unix and linux similar to Turbo C and and Free Pascal IDE, fp? You can try editing in micro-editor, then compile in another tty. I think it supports LSP by now, so you just need one for C. It’s not an IDE, but neither is vim. You ever try Helix with tree-sitter enabled? What are your criteria for usability? Compile, See Compiler Errors, Run. When I felt a similar desire many years ago, I decided to write my own - though 'nano' was my model, rather than TurboC. I'd build it all differently if I had to do it over, but it works well enough that I continue to use it, all day every workday: https://www.github.com/marssaxman/ozette If you can't find what you are looking for, perhaps you should write it yourself! Can you tell why Emacs/Vim failed to fill this criteria? Did I say it failed? I said I'm looking for something like Turbo C. In fact I have a very nice custom compile and run vimscript. Again, I'm just looking for sth like Turbo C, FP, etc ... mostly in terms of UI and vibe if you have to ...
