Use GNU Emacs
There are many text editors extensible in Lua or in Python. They generally don't allow messing with the innards as much (Firefox proved that's a double edge sword with its extension, it's not an unalloyed good).

And Emacs Lisp doesn't feel super accessible to most software developers under 40. Almost all its conventions come from a small little island, it's like marsupials in Australia, their own little parallel evolution.

Harlequin.sh DuckDB IDE for your terminal
- Textadept: https://github.com/orbitalquark/textadept
Or "Geany IDE" on desktop environment (while waiting for lapce.dev to get better), I tend to stay away as much as possible from VS Codium, but everyone else seems to love it and already forgot about Atom, few seems to realise how Microsoft really is.
Maybe the plot twist is that you have to accept in your heart that "writing text on anything, is the real IDE", and transcend to writing on nano!

Lite: A lightweight text editor written in Lua
Looks interesting. Especially in terms of its customisability, this reminds me a bit of Textadept, another Lua-based editor: https://orbitalquark.github.io/textadept/

Sunsetting Atom Text Editor
Textadept has both TUI and GUI, and is Free Software: https://orbitalquark.github.io/textadept/
The way it works is that its creator made a TUI implementation if the GUI library he used for the graphical version, so you have the same menus etc.

Zee: A modern text editor for the terminal written in Rust
Consider taking a look at: https://orbitalquark.github.io/textadept/. It's a rather "old kid on the block" actually, it's quite minimal ("Relentlessly optimized for speed and minimalism over the years, the editor consists of less than 2000 lines of C code and less than 4000 lines of Lua code") and it is crazy extensible; actually in my experience trying it, I found it too much extensible - it was too easy for me to break it while trying to configure it.

Straight from your link above:
> "... the editor consists of less than 2000 lines of C code and less than 4000 lines of Lua code."
So it is written in Lua and C (mostly for graphics widgets).
