Lite XL (which is a project Pragtical forked on) is my first experience writing a plugin for code editor and coding in Lua, and I am surprised on how easy is it. I don't know about other editors, but in Lite XL and Pragtical I can extend or overwrite almost anything the core plugin is doing. I can even start writing the plugin in my user module file (init.lua), and see the change on the fly.

This is inspired by Emacs which works the same way. It, in turn, takes inspiration from how Lisp systems have worked since time immemorial. You're meant to open a REPL directly into the running system as a way to evolve it.
