Yet if you read the rest of the comment you would realize this specific use-case (editing text) was done fine with a single array buffer when computers had less than 1mb of memory to work with.

This is a perfect example of when it’s stupid to keep optimizing.

How does 1mb computer keep a 2mb textfile in an array in RAM?

Do you have text files you need to edit that are that big?

I've opened files that big in a text editor before, but it was definitely the wrong tool for the job.
