That's a lot of code for a toy project, impressive commitment!
How does the VIM family generally handle extensibility?
Do you have any unique takes there?
I use Emacs, and I get how emacs does it (smallish runtime for text display and lisp interpreter, everything else in lisp).
Traditionally (classic vim), horribly well. Fully extensible, but Vimscript is quirky to say the least.
Recently (neovim), delightfully. It just uses Lua and exposes APIs for absolutely everything.
