TextAdept
Another small, minimalist Lua-based text editor is Lite[1], and it's much less "light" cousin Lite-XL[2]

A Love Letter to Tinkerable Software
Playing with browser developer tools and always seeing obfuscated JavaScript makes me sad. I'm not a web developer, but I suspect the security gained is low enough to fall within the author's "unnecessary constraints."
On the other hand, there are projects like https://github.com/rxi/lite

Leveraging Rust and the GPU to render user interfaces at 120 FPS
Beyond the rendering which as noted is nothing that hasn't been done before (in general) the inherent OT/multi user + tree sitter functionality is something that entices me.
I'm surprised nobody pointed out lite/litexl here either it's rendering of ui is very similar (although fonts are via a texture; like a game would) and doesn't focus overly on the GPU but optimises those paths like games circa directx9/opengl 1.3

Minimal Cross-Platform Graphics
> is using pure software rendering (on top of SDL) in a rather naïve fashion
https://github.com/rxi/lite/blob/master/src/rencache.c#L4
I think you'll find that they found the naive approach was sufficiently poor, performance wise, that additional optimizations had to be applied on-top.
> But for quick hacking / porting old demos / writing emulators and also text based UI it can be fast enough.

If you want to use it, use it. It's 'good enough'...

Lapce
I like the single lapce.exe and loads reasonably fast.
But this is in a pre pre-alpha stage, so many bugs it's far too early for public feedback. It loads reasonably fast except chrome stats in top left then jerks towards the center. The start page says to bring up the command palette which I was unable to navigate via keyboard.
The open file dialog takes an eternity to load the first time, the path is in a text box that's not editable. Focusing a text file gives an Insert cursor which is in text mode, there's a noticable slow delay before writing the first character, text selection is non existent so lacks basic text editing features.
There is a built-in terminal however there's only a single tab.
The only thing that gives it potential is that the folder/file browsing is super quick even with a node_modules folder so it might be built on efficient rendering that can be improved.
Even for such a basic editor it's 38mb download. For a far smaller + more complete editor checkout Lite:

4coder editor is now fully open source
> : I would just like to add that I saw the author left several comments about the state of the code in the Readme that imply the code is very unstable.
I dunno, I'm looking at their "4coder_base_types.h" header [0] and redefining basic types and builtin keywords for personal preference (yeah I know, static is overloaded) is a serious eyebrow raiser.
