The brand new Microsoft Edit, which is the successor of the old MS-DOS-editor will come soon to Linux as well?
There is a discussion going on how to call ms edit executable under Linux at: https://github.com/microsoft/edit/discussions/341
Microsoft Edit is fully written in Rust. And the source-code is actually fully open-source as well under MIT license 😮.
I personally would like see them calling it dos-edit
or just dosedit
, since that would be kinda funny. But I understand it will be called ms-edit
instead.
I know Linux already has vi, vim, neovim and nano, ... and more... However is kind of ironic to see this binary be shipped to Linux distros. Of course it's already added to Arch btw: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ms-edit-git
Official GitHub page.
I'm not saying you should ms edit. I just wanted to let people about this weird news. 🤣
Appreciated and we all had a great laugh :)
