What is Lime text?
An experimental Sublime Text clone. The backend is written in Go (programming language). If you're proficient in Go, feel free to fork this project. The project is still in its early stages. This is both an opportunity and a challenge. We hope you can take it on.
The frontend can be developed however you prefer. Currently, there are implementations using termbox, Qt, and HTML/JavaScript. Dart and Skia are under discussion. If any of these languages is your forte, feel free to push the task forward.
