Me, I just wrote my own editor that works exactly the way that I want it to work.

Every Jedi needs to build their own light saber, and come on, it's just 6KLOC or so.

Me, I wrote my own OS.

Every real Jedi needs to build their own light saber, and come on, it's just 100KLOC or so.

Link a repo, I'd love to check it out.

I've never even considered what goes into making an editor.

ah! amazing, can i try it ?
I feel the same about 'vis'. Its lightening fast and does what I need.

I apologize if this is not the right place to ask but how would I go about adding the following vim/nvim functionality to .visrc.lua ?

inoremap jk <Esc> inoremap kj <Esc>

This is a great project, I'm keeping a really close eye on it, but still missing the few plugins I use in vim/neovim.
vis looks really interesting. i keep meaning to make the time to try it out properly
