Arachnophilia

Arachnophilia, a source code editor that is offered for free by Paul Lutus, can be used for webpage development purposes; this free and open source tool can also be used as a general programming tool. So if you’re a web developer or programmer, you’re hereby invited to get this HTML editor.

Speaking about getting Arachnophilia, it must be noted that this HTML editor is based on Java; you must have Java installed on your PC for Arachnophilia to run. It must also be noted that Paul Lutus rewrote the tool in Java as a sign of protest against Microsoft’s “increasingly fascist policy.” Also, he rewrote it in Java so that people on non-Windows machines could use Arachnophilia.

Arachnophilia’s interface is just what you would expect from an application of this type. The text/code you’re working on takes up the main part of the interface. At the top, in the upper left hand corner, there’s a traditional File Menu and toolbars with buttons for various features and functions: undo/redo, cut, underline, launch a web browser, center text, and more.

Arachnophilia provides support for multiple programming languages: Python, Ruby, C++, PHP, HTML, JavaScript, Perl, Delphi, and many more.
Arachnophilia provides easy access to lots of useful features and functions: find, replace, undo/redo, convert to HTML, spell check, word count, validate HTML, beautify HTML, run FTP service, set syntax colors, beautify code, base calculator, Java compiler, and more.

Arachnophilia is free software.

If you’re a programmer or developer, Arachnophilia is sure to put a smile on your face. This free and Java-based tool can prove to be a very useful source code editor.
