I've been really curious about the algorithms and data structures behind text editors. Does anyone know of a book or YouTube series that does a job slowly build

  I don't know if it answers your question per se but let me mention: The Craft of Text Editing https://www.finseth.com/craft/ https://www.finseth.com/craft/ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13518170 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13518170

    That looks great indeed, thank you. I assume the concepts are generalizable even though it uses Emacs to concretize them? I ask since I'm a Vim guy (not trying to start a flame war haha)

      Sure. After all, you can use evil-mode to give emacs vi/vim keybindings.
