i wrote a code editor in C and now i’m a changed man

I never thought I would share this, but here I am. I was writing a lot of code, a bunch of scripts, i.e small files, to do stuff. I hated VS Code, after getting acquainted with vim, and i hated vim after getting cozy with neovim. But then, the diminishing returns started to plateau. Neovim is fun, but it's too much to work with sometimes. VS Code is too heavy to work on small files, i.e open it close it open it close it again bla bla. In all this, another option grew appealing to me, the nano text editor.

That's when I decided to write something between nano and neovim. All I wanted from neovim was the ability to register shortcuts and support for plugins. Therefore, I tried to merge the best of both worlds by making an editor that is pleasant to work with.

Using C, was fun, at least mostly. A lot of new experience dealing with lower level details, threads, and the likes. Really transformed the way I think about code, I suggest everyone else to try C.

My code editor is called light, or HolyCode(after Terry Davis, or a stab at VSCode). I hope you guys like it,
