Writing a low level C code editor, going down the rabbit hole of gap buffers and piece tables. Fun though. I first wrote it the dumbest way possible, one big array with padding at the back. Worked fine actually for most modern use cases, but as this is also a learning experience, I want it to be best in class in performance. I think I'll settle on gap buffer because the performance is great and it doesn't hurt my head.
