143 points · Open discussionRelatedly, there's an Emacs-like editor written in Rust called Zee: https://github.com/mcobzarenco/zee
Zee makes some claims about speed, "The 100 FPS editor. Cursor movement and edits render under 10ms." I do not know how to evaluate whether those claims are true.
I've become used to using Micro (written in Go) for everything: https://micro-editor.github.io/
So I haven't really used Amp or Zee much, but I do have both installed on my system just in case I get bored of Micro ;-)
