We had a talk at RustConf previously about the Xi editor; it uses an immutable data structure to handle text. It's a video but the author lays out the details here: ▶ this video They make an interesting argument about how Rust makes it easier and nicer to write these kinds of structures. It's still an area of exploration in Rust generally though; I wouldn't say immutable data structures are idiomatic, but that's also just because we haven't had a ton of easy ones to use, so nobody uses them. So we'll see!

There's a talk about it, too, if interested: ▶ this video I'm hoping to find the time to get more comfortable with Rust and try to contribute at some point

What are some good resources to learn more about the inner workings of text editors or building one from scratch? So far I've found and enjoyed reading/watching the resources below and would love to learn more. * The Craft of Text Editing: [link] * Writing a Text Editor From Scratch: [link] * A Modern Text Editor Built in Rust: ▶ this video
