AEditor is a widget editor designed to promote pair-programming by facilitating collaboration between software developers.
Escape sequences within strings and literals are colored beautifully, making it ideal to use. When it comes to Ruby, it is a dynamic and general-purpose object-oriented programming language that combines syntax inspired by Perl with Smalltalk-like features. The language originated in Japan during the mid-1990s and was initially developed by Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto.
Ruby supports multiple programming paradigms, and it has a dynamic type system and automatic memory management. Although it doesn't have a specification, the current, official implementation of Ruby is written in C, and it is considered the de facto reference.
As of 2008, alternative implementations of the Ruby language include Rubinius, JRuby, YARV, and IronRuby, each of which takes a different approach, with JRuby providing just-in-time compilation functionality. The latest stable version of the reference implementation is 1.8.6, as of December 2007, and several virtual machines are being developed for Ruby, apart from the reference.
Moving on to the key features of AEditor, it stands out due to its syntax coloring for Ruby and C++, multiple buffers, undo/redo, and macros. Additionally, the software has easy-to-make color themes, a Ruby configuration file, and is written entirely in Ruby. It comes with a Ruby license and is cross-platform, functioning on UNIX, Windows, and Mac. AEditor contains two default keymaps (CUA and Simon), as well as a window mode and full-screen mode. Finally, the software has been unit-tested with 446 tests and 1532 assertions.
