What happened
I found that I'm not using even 1/3 of vim/vscode features anymore. That's wht I'm building rhun - a small code editor for Linux, Windows and Apple silicon Macs. It obviously has Vim mode, a terminal, Git diffs and a panel for Claude Code or Codex sessions. The editor and pixel renderer share an x86-64 assembly...
Why it matters
Rhun offers a lightweight alternative to feature-heavy editors like Vim and VSCode, integrating AI tools directly within a highly optimized assembly-based core. This approach could appeal to developers seeking performance and simplicity alongside AI-assisted coding.
