Humor must be! Boring otherwise!
I'm not planning to work on plugins on the near future. But yes, I have some ideas. mainly: golang compliled plugins or lua. I'm leaning more to go complied plugins.
Hey fellow vim enthusiast! I wish you all the best with vimgolf.ai
That was most "dumb" and simple yet fast approach to get it done. Other ways of implementing it are more time consuming. I've saved a lot of time on it. Like "one day" and it was done.
Hey wyclif! I'll take your idea! amazing! really really like it! wig let it be!
Hey hit8run, appreciate your feedback. I was also running Helix for a couple of months. great editor. performance is phenomenal.
it is not more effective than vim nor it will ever be. it "just" a text editor with no intention to compete with vim or any other great editor.
Ctrl-c will spawn process defined in header and will send all subsequent commands to it. E.g; spawn psql, run sql queries from editor.

For now I have no plans for plugins. Need to finish "base" first and good. And yes, intention is to keep it minimal.

Hey Paddy. Vim uses horrible vimscrip, neovim - cool lua. I have two idea for plugins: - 1. Rich events system on backend side. e.g. write golang code for plugins, recomplire editor. done. pros: good performance, autocomplete for plugins out-of-the-box. golang. cons: feedback loop is lonfer. recomplier, restart, repeat. - 2. Use lua. pros: fast development cycle. cons: harder to implement. two languages, communication overhead.

I also use Emacs, btw.

I appreciate your feedback!
