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

      Thanks.

      I'm thinking it could be a sort of reference implementation to build your own custom IDE the way you like it. I'm going to attempt to get TurboKod to be good enough to be my daily driver, we'll see how it goes.

    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.

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.
