The resident memory was 10MB in my windows machine when I ran this. A strong reason for me to use this would be in a low powered device. I want to write markdown in a tiny editor like this. I want to run multiple projects side by side and this is good for that. If I'm a beginner trying do dev on a machine lower than 4G of RAM. So many more examples come to my mind. I'm pretty sure there are more Also the immediate UI library from the same author is very good and the examples are amazing. 1. https://github.com/rxi/microui https://github.com/rxi/microui 2. https://floooh.github.io/sokol-html5/index.html https://floooh.github.io/sokol-html5/index.html

On my GNU / Debian testing 64-bit, with 10 tabs opened it consumed 31 MiB of RAM and my CPU pushed itself to reach 0.75% at its busiest processing during typing. To me this is simply mind-blowing.

  Not as mind-blowing as SublimeText leaking 3 solid GB of RAM after a few days on my Debian..

    Its always the extensions. Not sublime itself. That has been my experience so far

  We used to be able to open 10 files at a time on 4MB systems back in the 90s. (They weren't big files, of course, but still. Standards have slipped.)

    Yes, those were the days...every once in a while, I visit https://kolibrios.org/en/screen https://kolibrios.org/en/screen to get nostalgic. Indeed standards have slipped or better say have been sacrificed at the altar of "quantity over quality". For a simple "Hello, World!" string message, nowadays you need how many MBs of RAM. Madness, complete madness!

  Wut, I opened 12 files in 9MB back in the day on a 32MB device as nothing.

    Right now, I'm editing all the files in a 3kLOC project in neovim, doing completion with an LSP host, in 14.8MB. Keep it going for a few days and you might rack up 40MB. People can keep creating lightweight editors all they like, but you really need to bring more to the table than that when vim already exists.

I upgraded to 64 GB of RAM and now my average usage is around ~40% so hopefully I will be able to live with that for some time. Browsers, VSCode and other webapps and Electrons are using crazy amounts of memory. But... RAM is cheap now so who cares. :P It's about time to start telling kids legends about old days where people were using memory leak detectors and analyzers.

  Out of curiosity, what's your CPU utilization? Every bloated Electron-based app I've ever seen also happened to consume cycles while sitting there doing nothing. I'm willing to give up my RAM, but not my CPU.
