    That is essentially what VLF[1] does in Emacs. It reads in discrete chunks of the file at a time and doesn’t load the next one till you try to display it. Doesn’t require any fancy data structures, just some extra book keeping and mechanics.

    That is an issue both related to Emacs' internal representation of buffers and modes working in the background on the data in buffers of very large files, for which there are some workarounds like vlf-mode. See for example (info "(emacs) Long Lines") for similar issues with long lines and a solution more similar to what all those other editors you mention are doing to mitigate the issue of large files and large lines.

    You can edit gigabyte-large files with no trouble vlf.el https://github.com/m00natic/vlfi – though it's a bit of a separate universe, you have to use vlf-occur instead of occur to find matches over all gigabytes of the file

    For arbitrarily large files (think GB) in terms of size of the data stored you may use e.g. vlfi.
