Re:Easel Turns One One year of building my own IDE in Clojure by phronmophobic on Thursday January 01, 2026 @05:32PM (#46458890)
I did consider that. I think it's possible, but there are a few challenges:

- It's much harder for components in separate processes to share data efficiently

- Window managers tend to be OS dependent. I want something that is cross-platform

- Coordinating components in separate, asynchronous processes is hard

- Working with OS window APIs is more annoying than writing a layout library
