On: Build Your Own Text Editor

[jauntbox]

There are several super long (8+ hr) live coding videos of building an assembler and compiler for CP/M here: http://cowlark.com/2019-07-15-cowgol-prototype/index.html

I haven't had the stamina to go through one but have watched some sizable chunks and it's pretty cool, even with me not really knowing much about low-level stuff like that.

There's also a session where he live codes a vi-like text editor here: http://cowlark.com/2019-06-28-cpm-vi/index.html

Thanks a lot for sharing this video! This is absolutely the kind of thing that I hope to find on HN. Plan to spend all of tomorrow on this.
