…is it fast? Why assembly? Impressive, regardless!
“Super responsive, minimal-by-default” is kinda already met by Sublime Text, but it’s certainly not in assembly lol. And not OSS — thanks for sharing your work with the world :)

  It's very difficult to call Sublime minimal, but for years that was my go to as well. rhun is OSS, no telemetry, free and is lacking dozens of "normal code editor" features compared to Sublime. Which is kinda the point. nano+ with GUI.

  Typing latency is within one frame, so on par with my editor and Sublime Text etc. So, yes, it's fast.
  Obv not as polished but still cool.

    Working on the polishing phase. Thanks for trying it out! Is there anything specific I should look into?
