What is Yi?

Yi is a text editor written, and extensible in, the Haskell programming language. It can be made to behave like emacs or like vi.

Features:

  • A purely functional editor core;
  • Keybindings written as parsers of the input;
  • Emacs, Vim and Cua (subset) emulations provided by default;
  • Vty, Gtk2Hs, and, in development, Cocoa and Pango frontends.

The long term goal of the project is to make Yi the editor of choice for the haskell hacker.

The main short term goal is to maximize Yis Fun Factor. This includes:

  • improve hackability (and therefore architecture)
  • add cool features
