Oh god no, it's not the maintainer. It's frankly a student with no prior experience in both the language and the codebase, asking the maintainer permission for pushing a lot of ai generated code with chatgpt for his resume?
Atleast he has the decency to ask for stuff first and being straight.
The maintainer is the first comment, agreeing with the post author:
> I concur, but there are two issues with this: Building the foundation of an editor is way harder than building features later on top of that, and currently it is unlikely that Microsoft will fund me to spend half a year working purely on this project. So, I'll work on this whenever I can, which is not much.
The maintainer has used a hyped language to write a simple editor that already exists. Do I need to say more?
OK.
The code will be abandoned in 2 years. Maybe it doesn't comes to more features.
It hasn't gotten to that point yet, but the maintainer of edit wants to add a lot of features to it.

Maybe they're referring to the plugin system they want to implement: https://github.com/microsoft/edit/issues/17
