Hi. It can parse C&#x2F;C++ and perform auto completion correctly, it does partially support LSP, I&#x27;m finishing the full integration but in the meanwhile it&#x27;s using my own C&#x2F;C++ parser which works up to the latest MSVC standard, it is written in C because it&#x27;s the main language I use and I&#x27;m comfortable with... It renders text using the WinAPI functions.

Can it parse C++ properly and perform correct auto-completion?Which languages besides C and C++ does it support?Does it support language server protocol?Why it&#x27;s written in C and not C++?How does it render texts without any dependencies? Does it use WinAPI functions for this?

I’ve spent the last ~2 years building a C&#x2F;C++ IDE for Windows entirely in C99. My goal was to eliminate the bloat of the modern Visual Studio environment keeping its core features.Key Technical Highlights:Zero Dependencies: Just the Windows APIPerformance: Starts in 0.1ms on a twelve year old machine. It handles projects with 500k+ lines without UI lag or indexing stutters.Integrated Tools: Includes a custom-built debugger, profiler, and Intellisense engine designed for speed.Portability: It’s a single executable. No installer required.I built this because I was tired of waiting 10 seconds for Visual Studio to &quot;wake up&quot; and seeing my RAM disappear just to boot it up. It’s currently hosted on itch.io while I gather funds to set up a dedicated site.
