Micro, a modern terminal-based text editor designed to be easy to use while still offering features typically associated with full graphical editors, released 2.0.15, marking the project’s first release since version 2.0.14, which shipped in August 2024.

The main focus this time is on improvements to syntax highlighting. Support has been expanded or refined for a wide range of languages and formats, including Rust, Java, Swift, Haskell, OpenSCAD, Meson, PRQL, nftables, Fish shell, Groovy, Ruby, JavaScript variants such as .cjs, and additional assembly and C++ edge cases.

Haha yeah it's great. It's fast, portable, and has keyboard shortcuts from this century!

I have to say when I saw this headline I was bracing myself for AI "features"...

I used Micro before learning Vim. It is a great editor because it is very intuitive.

I read somewhere that it might replace Nano; that would be great.
