A Ruby text editor.
- written in Ruby from the ground up
- runs on JRuby (a fast, compatible Ruby implementation)
- is cross-platform (Linux, Mac OS X, Windows)
- highly extensible
Some Redcar features:
- supports Textmate themes and snippets
- split screen mode
- syntax checking for many languages
- built in REPL for Ruby, plugins for Groovy, Clojure and Mirah.
Some (current) limitations:
- Only supports UTF-8 file encodings (and therefore ASCII)
