Show HN: Ecode – A minimalist and fast open-source code editor
>  designed for modern hardware with a focus on responsiveness and performance<p>Not sure why a text editor needs modern hardware to be performant. I’m working on a text editor myself, and aspire to vim on the performance front as it is fast as one would reasonably want. If anything, my physical body is the bottleneck. There are edge cases such as really large files (100+ million lines) or ones having super long lines that makes certain data structures choke, but vim can do random access on 180m line files just fine on my M1.<p>Point being, performance is a weak selling point to switch text editors, and I question whether it should even be predicated on “modern” hardware ( GPU accelerated rendering ? ). The selling point has to be something else. This is why the editor wars is a dichotomy between Emacs and Vim. Emacs strives for many things, but speed isn’t one of them, and that’s perfectly okay. The main selling point of my editor, built for myself, is native support for Org-like files without the rabbithole of Emacs.
