/prog/ is going to write a text editor

First, we must agree on what language to write it in.

I nominate C, for efficiency purposes, and that I am most comfortable in it. I also nominate Scheme, because I am proficient in it.

We will design and implement a set of library routines. Each user shall then construct their own editor from those library routines. Language portability is ensured by using C as primary implementation language; there are FFI-type bindings to C from nearly anything not-C.
