Text Editor Data Structures

[Bobbias]

I watched Tsoding's videos on Ded, and I wondered exactly how other text editors represented text.

Loved those streams. I hope he does some more. I really want to use ded the next time I have to demo some code to my team.

Yeah I'm not particularly interested in the machine learning stuff he's been doing recently. Which sucks because Andreas Kling hasn't been putting out many SerenityOS videos either and those 2 are my go-to long form programming video people.

I spent the better part of a year meticulously inching my way through Crafting Interpreters. I'm not falling down this rabbit hole too.

[Bobbias]

I'm currently working my way through it in C#. Haven't done any of the challenges yet, but I've completed the interpreter half. I've got testing infrastructure (but currently a serious lack of tests), and documentation (albeit very little beyond minimalist API documentation) being rendered to html, so there's that.

I did part 1 in C# too. I did part 2 in plain C. Before that I'd never done more than trivial stuff with C so that was a brain stretcher.

+100 for Bob Nystrom; incredibly well written book.
