This is awesome! We were thinking about using CodeMirror for our in-browser editor, code.xyz [1] but wrote our own rendering engine from scratch in order to make sure we could distribute a lightweight package. If CodeMirror 6 had existed at the time we may have used it. We managed to get the total size to a fraction of that of CodeMirror.
If the community is interested we can definitely talk about open sourcing our editor, or if the CM team is interested in how we implemented some aspects I'm not opposed to sharing details. I can be reached at keith [at] stdlib [dot] com. We're a team of three engineers in SF, I'm responsible for the majority of the rendering engine implementation. :)
(If anybody is interested in my previous contributions to open source, they're available on my GitHub [2].)
