I'll have to try it.
It occurs to me that in this era of RAM hardware shortage, resource-frugal applications like this one could become more prevalent.
Anyway I guess we'll see if that happens.
Edit: Downloaded, running under Windows.
Impressive. Loads fast, looks pretty polished. Highlighting for many languages included "obscure" ones that I sometimes use.

Thank you. Windows definitely needs a slightly better autoupdate system which is coming in the next major release.

- now imagine building entire systems tailored to each OS in just assembly
- imagine the next gen browser built in only assembly with a browser engine made in assembly
- imagine photoshop, illustrator, movie maker built ground up in assembly
- imagine an entire windows 12 operating system made in pure assembly
- the performance profile of each of the above must be absolutely wild
- since i am an an absolute newbie at assembly at this point, a sincere question to the some of the more englightened ones reading this, how and where do you recommend I learn assembly? I understand its different for x86 x64 and ARM? where should I start?

The plan is to add as less new features as possible and keep the same performance/launch time/memory and disk footprint as it is currently.

Honestly, it runs and looks incredible (macOS). Very well done. Would love to have support for pi-agent, as is my go-to for most uses I have. Congratulations!

can you talk about why you do this in assembly?

There are some good numbers in comments to respond the question. Think of rhun as of anti-vscode: feature-poor, configuration-lacking, but small and fast :-)

absolutely blazing! and it delivers exactly what I've wanted for quick code reviews of the AI output.

If you use an LLM to write assembly, it is officially your (optimizing?) compiler :)

Assembly plus platform translation, hmmm. I don’t get it but that’s a heck of a thing to do! And yes, I’ll try it.

…is it fast? Why assembly? Impressive, regardless!
“Super responsive, minimal-by-default” is kinda already met by Sublime Text, but it’s certainly not in assembly lol. And not OSS — thanks for sharing your work with the world :)

It's very difficult to call Sublime minimal, but for years that was my go to as well. rhun is OSS, no telemetry, free and is lacking dozens of "normal code editor" features compared to Sublime. Which is kinda the point. nano+ with GUI.

Ok wow I am in love! Not just it’s fast, but also it automatically detected the AI session that’s actively working! Might ditch zed now!

I'm still thinking should I make it bidirectional. Wdyt?

When someone says "hallmark," I can't stop myself from thinking of Xmas
