How would you write a novel in Word/Pages?
There are some people trying to recreate the Wordstar experience, like this one, and they supposedly were great and simple for writing long-form content (it was before my time, so I have no experience with it).

Lightweight Word Processor
WordGrinder. It's great for distraction-free writing, and can output Markdown or troff. It's a great tool for getting words down, but its otherwise pretty limited (which I think is one of its strengths). When I need to print or generate a PDF, I have a little script.

Is there a way to have a full TUI desktop environment?
For word processing there's WordGrinder, which is in the repos for many distros (in Fedora: dnf install wordgrinder). Things like LaTeX and Groff are for typesetting, which I don't view as the same as word processing. WordGrinder is more like the classical DOS word processors (e.g. WordPerfect 5.1).

Building the fastest Lua interpreter.. automatically!
I have a word processor I wrote (https://cowlark.com/wordgrinder) which is mostly written in Lua, with hardware-specific stuff in C, and while this works extremely well, I'd very much like something with stronger typing. There's a possibility I'd be able to just drop in Luau and get it, plus some performance benefits. I'd need to reimplement parts of the standard library due to Luau having dropped things like the io library but that's no great hardship. I like the syntax, too, which is expressive and very lightweight.

Wife asked if we could get rid of this old coffee mug.

Emacs for literature
I also use writeroom because I prefer its simplicity, but worth mentioning that olivetti is the more popular writing mode.

Looking for evil-mode resources for non vim users emacs beginners
If you want to try out some third-party packages in the beginning, I think the most "bang-for-your-buck" you'll get is with Avy. Also, expand-region. And specifically for writing: olivetti-mode, flyspell, dictionary, and Nicolas Rougier's Nano and Elegant Emacs setups.
