Thoughts on improving security of Neovim plugins
WASM is not related to JavaScript in any way, it's just a formal definition (see the spec) for a bytecode and a VM that executes it. One of the problems that WASM tries to solve for web development is to get away from JS because it's such a mess. It's unfortunate that WASM has "Web" in its name, as it's rally not just for Web: there are many embedded runtimes, for example, popular proxy server Envoy supports WASM for writing filters (aka extensions) and there's even WASM runtime for the Linux kernel.

Helix: a post-modern text editor
Wasm started in the web, but has since been ported even to the Linux kernel [0]. It seems perfect for situation where you near machine code levels of performance, but don't want to carry different binaries for different CPU architectures - exactly what you want from a plugin system. It also allows far greater isolation than "real" compiled code.

Multi-cursor code editing: An animated introduction
Nice post. Obligatory Helix plug: For anyone interested in taking this further, there are whole editors designed around multi-cursor editing.

:syntax off (2016)
I could never turn it off completely but I do sometimes use the Acme theme during the day (it's too bright in the evening), which highlights just comments, strings, and errors.

Lapce
You can use a snippet LSP to work around Helix not having a built-in LSP manager. They're listed in https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/395

Memray – A Memory Profiler for Python
I'm probably not the average python programmer.
But I normally just create two terminals (I have a tiling window manager) and in one I open a python file under /tmp/ write my code and execute it in the other terminal.
I would probably use a REPL if it was integrated in my favorite editor ( https://helix-editor.com ).

Neovide – a simple, no-nonsense, cross-platform GUI for Neovim
Wow, that's been there a while: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/commit/35c974c9c49f912...
Wonder how I missed that. I'm getting a re-education in helix today -- thank you! I'll go through `hx --tutor` again before I insert any more feet in my mouth.

Zed is now open source
Interesting to see how they are gonna approach integrating plugins/extensions system, because this is likely gonna be one of the major factors affecting adoption and ecosystem growth.
Helix devs, for instance, lean towards a Scheme-like implementation. [1]
