A [Kakoune ](https://github.com/mawww/kakoune ) / [Neovim ](https://github.com/neovim/neovim ) inspired editor, written in Rust.

myself agreeing with most of Kakoune's design decisions.

Although it's primarily a terminal-based editor, I am interested in exploring
a custom renderer (similar to Emacs) using wgpu or skulpin.
