Yes.

Not very motivated for such a harsh critic..

The Text Editor Sam by Rob Pike
If you want an editor that uses Sam's structural regexes with keyboard-focussed vi-style interaction, you might be interested in https://github.com/martanne/vis

Can we write a Neo-vim Successor using rust?
Not Rust, but there's vis which aims to be a Vi(m) inspired editor with Sam's structural regular expressions.

I do not use vim nor a WM nor a Thinkpad, but I do use vis. It's great.

Helix: Release 23.03 Highlights
> They either break from Vim's model (kakoune, helix) or follow Vim along with all it's flaws (Neovim, Vis).
I am sincerely curious of what flaws from Vim has Vis inherited, in your opinion.
I have the impression that the design idea of Vis is taking only the modal design of Vi (not Vim), plus the structural regular expressions of Sam, then make it as clean as possible with programmability via Lua plugins.
In fact, the state non-goals [1] seems to clearly distant itself from Vim.

: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.

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 ).

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]
