The next fun experiment is to handle gigabyte files without undue performance troubles with a lively ui thread! This is where scintilla et al run into limits.

- wila 10y agoScintilla is an editor for source code. Normally code isn't gigabytes in size and doesn't need a lexer, code folding or syntax highlighting. Not saying that it can't be done, but if you open a file like that then turning off those features would already make it a lot easier to handle huge files.
