Using Microsoft's New CLI Text Editor on Ubuntu
Too heavy.
MicroEmacs is small and lightweight. I port it to whatever machine I'm using, and it works nicely in a remote tty window. It doesn't need a customization language, as I just change the source code.
Recently, I added color syntax highlighting to it, and support for unicode characters.

A lightweight, simple, fast, feature-filled, text editor written in C, and Lua
Here's another one with a very small footprint:

It's the one I use every day. The executable on Windows is a little over a meg. It also works on Linux and Mac.

I Still Use Plain Text for Everything.
I fixed my editor so that it recognizes URLs, and underlines them. Clicking on one brings up a browser on that site. I should have done that 20 years ago.
No special syntax is required. It just works. I've since been adding URLs in comments all over my code, for references. It's marvelous.
It could be extended to recognize filename.jpg and filename.mp3 to display or play those files, too. Again with no special syntax whatsoever. It just works.

The Lost Apps of the 80s
I still use microEmacs, which floated around the intertoobs in the 1980s. Of course, I've modified it substantially over the years, most recently adding color syntax highlighting and Unicode.
D version:

C version:

The "extension language" is it's so easy to just add some code and recompile it, there's no point in adding an extension language.
I like microEmacs a lot because I can use it remotely over a tty interface.

Hecto: Build your own text editor in Rust
Doing one yourself is fun. MicroEmacs drifted around NNTP in the 80s, and I snagged a copy and began modifying it to taste. I've been using it ever since. The latest version was ported to D:
https://github.com/DigitalMars/med
It's a very easy editor to understand and extend.

A lightweight, simple, fast, feature-filled, text editor written in C, and Lua
I actually authored something for this to work with my workflow on lite-xl (I compile a mid-sized C++ codebase on the regular).
It's still not really ready for release, but it's here, in case you're at all interested: https://github.com/adamharrison/lite-xl-ide; it's a build system and debugger integration.
The build tasks don't run in a terminal however; they move over to a build window at the bottom of the editor. The execution, however, by default, runs in whatever terminal you want to configure, so the actual program output does dump to an external terminal. Unfortunately, there is no truly integrated terminal as of yet.
