Honestly the experience looks pretty nice. Which is crazy to say for such an old style of program but I kind of like it. Perhaps just nostalgia for a time I never got your experience.

A year or so ago I spent half a day writing some Rust on an actual DEC glass teletype (VT520) connected to a Debian box. I used vim and shell job control (^Z, jobs, fg, etc.) to switch between tooling and a persistent text editor. It made me feel things.
I can imagine. Thank you for sharing! I just saw one in the Computer History Museum.
I'm not mad at this at all. It probably runs with like 20kb if RAM.
I realize the author is probably just having fun, but if a few modern features added to this and I would probably try it.
Multi cursor, a little terminal window, some way to do code hints or intelligence. This would be a dream boat lol

I started this just for the lulz, but now I've got:
copy/paste/undo
multiple cursors
debuggers
syntax highlighting (even nested languages with jetbrains style comments!)
find-in-files
integrated documentation
integrated git client (roughly modeled after lazygit)
spell checking
and tons more that I can't even remember
It's pretty awesome and inspires me more than lulz. Highly successful art project if you ask me

OP here. Thanks for sharing! I love your project. Looks very polished and true to the experience.
And yes, TRUST got started for the lulz and feels.
Have you tried Fresh? Has everything you listed and more

Thank you! I may build this out further. I just wanted to get started and feel like back then; share and see what happens. If I am the only one who is excited about this.
Thank you! It was meant to evoke emotions.
