Ha, writing a minimalist editor is one of my "hello world" tasks and I've been meaning to redo it in Rust as so many things would be much easier than in C. The major thing I would want differently, breaking tradition from emacs is not waste the bottom two lines for modeline and a usually-empty prompt line and instead only show it on demand. Emacs can sort of do this, but in my experience, it doesn't work very well. ADD: I know some HNers feel there's too much Rust here, but let me just add how I love that I can do `cargo install zee` on macOS, FreeBSD, and Linux (AMD64, Arm64, RISC-V) and it just works. Cargo is my favorite package manager (where available).
