alt Hacker News> That being said, I hope they figure out the plugin system, or someone forks the project to add the missing table stakes features.
They decided on an obscure Lisp flavor as the language (instead of WASM), so I don't hold my breath for a powerful plugin system, more like slightly more convenient configuration language.

Yes, if only we would have an example of an editor with a “obscure lisp flavor” and a powerful plugin system, unlike WASM!

It’s not even an obscure Lisp flavor. It’s Scheme. You’re getting thrown off by the fact that they need their own embeddable interpreter for it written in Rust.
