    Like many I appreciated seeing Antirez's kilo project, and went my own direction with a trivial fork:

    Adding support for an embedded lua scripting language, allowing multiple buffers, and flexible syntax highlighting for different languages, etc.

    Quickly looking over the (closed) bug reports I see the discussion I had with myself back in 2016 which largely caused me to rewrite the core in C++ so I could take advantage of modern facilities to make UTF8 work more easily:
