I’m leaving text editors like vscode/codium behind to learn something more modular, like Helix. I really wanna get used to. What advices can you give me to practice? I know that there is a :tutor command, I’m almost done with it. Do anyone know if there are exercices to practice? Im looking something similar to Ruby koans, a list of excersices to solve like “puzzles” but to Helix.
I agree that extensibility would be nice, but it cant / shouldnt replace the actually working software with all working features. Ive never been able to get into modal editors before helix because vim / neovim (probably kakoune also) are unusable in their base form by modern standards. Any actual config / distribution needs tons of work to integrate basic usability features and fall apart in a blink (and are usually not very performant - lazy loading exists for a reason). Therefore i think its the right move to focus on implementing a fully featured editor first and then explore extensibility. That said i will also be very happy when it becomes a thing, no matter if it will be via webassembly, lisp, ect…
Oh I agree, I am happy with Helix and use it as my main editor already. I like that they’d rather take their time to figure out how to make plugins work well.
