this thing happens to programmers eventually where their brain melts and they start writing their own text editor
@selfsame I looked into the eldritch horrors of my dependencies and went even madder than that!
I'm building my own browser engine.
@selfsame I started to do this but then I realized first I'd need a new programming language to write my own text editor in...
@technomancy you know where you're headed!
@selfsame I know but my garage isn't big enough to hold a fabrication plant for the custom silicon I'll need to manufacture once I finish designing my own instruction set to run the operating system that my custom virtual machine will run on so I think I better slow down
@technomancy @selfsame I almost started writing one at some point, good that xray and xi existed at the time lol
@technomancy @selfsame I need a new lang. But first I need a new, integrated editor/REPL to write that lang in.

(And I was in fact specifying a new lang yesterday.)
@selfsame im glad I managed to make the switch to emacs which is the lite variant of this
@selfsame mine uses opengl
@selfsame I've been considering it but didn't make the jump :o
