Editor4J: A lightweight code editor for learning

Update: Editor4J is right now in hibernation. It's a project I rarely work on but I do add new features maybe once a year. This was a learning project to learn more about Swing and has evolved into a capable beast with language support, persistence, themeing, extensibility and more, I'll work on it when I want to and the community is more than welcome to tag along :)

Hello :)

Have you ever started learning to code, but been overwhelmed by the complexity of professional grade IDEs? Or have you tried using Notepad to edit code but wished that it had syntax highlighting, multi-tab support and more?

I just released 2022.3 of Editor4J. A lightweight code editor that does all these things. I've been working on it for roughly 8 months now and it's starting to take shape. Check it out at https://github.com/skyloft7/Editor4J-new

Try out the 2022.3 release in the bottom-right area. Drop a comment and let me know what you think!

Thanks!

Great read:

Is it Time to go Back to the Monolith?

History repeats itself. Everything old is new again and I’ve been around long enough to see ideas discarded, rediscovered and return triumphantly to overtake the fad. In recent years SQL has made a tremendous comeback from the dead. We love relational databases all over again. I think the Monolith will have its space odyssey moment again. Microservices and serverless are trends pushed by the cloud vendors, designed to sell us more cloud computing resources.

Microservices make very little sense financially for most use cases. Yes, they can ramp down. But when they scale up, they pay the costs in dividends. The increased observability costs alone line the pockets of the “big cloud” vendors.
