Geany is a lightweight cross-platform GTK+ text editor[2] based on Scintilla and including basic Integrated Development Environment (IDE) features. It is designed to have short load times, with limited dependency on separate packages or external libraries. It is available for a wide range of operating systems, such as BSD, Linux, Mac OS X,[3] Solaris and Windows. Among the supported programming languages and markup languages are C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, PHP, HTML, LaTeX, CSS, Python, Perl, Ruby, Pascal, Haskell, Erlang, Vala and many others.
In contrast to traditional Unix-based editors like Emacs or Vim, Geany more closely resembles programming editors available for Microsoft Windows such as Programmer's Notepad or Notepad++, both of which also use Scintilla.
It is free software licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL version 2 or later.[1] After version 0.21 the version jumped to 1.22 because of user request[4]
