I'm conceited enough that lately I've been thinking, "maybe I should just write a text editor. It can't be that hard."
I tried a new text editor today that's written in rust. I downloaded the tar.gz and it just had a single executable binary in it It doesn't feel any more responsive than vscode, but at least its rust extension seems to work. I wrote like 20 lines of rust without any borrow checker errors so it was a good day?
Back when I worked on space ships, I used gedit and grep. That was before gedit's UI got butchered. Those were the good old days I guess.
