This is in Rust? I was expecting Ed to be in C…

Sorry to disappoint. Would have been difficult to make it this feature rich and have as explicit errors if I wrote it in C.

Reasons for choosing rust were: - Error handling style, easy to include context - Easy to import and use syntax highlighting library - Some level of inherent UTF-8 validation and support - Easier to make the ed-runtime support pluggable IO and UI

i thought i like rust, compiling this program was very weird. it took multiple minutes on full CPU load and even after cargo finished there was still a build process using one CPU core on 100% until i killed it.

That sounds strange. Could you give reproduction instructions? (OS, architecture, rust version) Maybe there's some kind of upstream bug I should report.

Same. I was hoping for ISO C99, to maybe port to AmigaOS.

But it's rusty.

If you want AmigaOS, maybe you should switch to vim (https://amitopia.com/vim-was-originally-developed-for-the-am...)?

Why make the same mistake twice?
