Notepad++ is a free (as in "free speech" and also as in "free
beer") source code editor and
Notepad replacement that supports several
languages. Running in the
MS Windows environment, its use is governed by
GPL License.
Based on the powerful editing component
Scintilla, Notepad++
is written in C++ and uses pure
Win32 API and STL which ensures a
higher execution speed and smaller program size. By optimizing as many
routines as possible without losing user friendliness, Notepad++
is trying to reduce the world carbon dioxide emissions. When using less
CPU power, the PC can throttle down and reduce power consumption,
resulting in a greener environment.
You're encouraged to
translate Notepad++ into your native language if there's not already a translation present in the
Binary Translations page.
I hope you enjoy Notepad++ as much as I enjoy coding it.
