The release of Fast-text Editor
So I made a full fledged text editor in rust called fast-text it not a big project like gnu nano or others and the features it has :--
A scripting language like vimscript called text write but is not related to vimscript . the language is used for the plugin management and other things
It has a automator. Which means when you make a textwrite file you can automate it in the text editor
Since its written in rust it has faster speeds and better mangement
Now for plugin management especially for making more plugins anyone can commit i the plugin repo in github
now a one line install command which is universal:-
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Fast-Text-editor/Fast-text-editor/main/install.sh | sh
and the git repo link :-

In a CLI crowd the curl | sh line will be the first thing people push back on. Offering cargo install, or release binaries with checksums, next to it lets cautious users try fast-text without piping a script into a shell. The speed claim would land better with one number, like the time to open a large log file in fast-text against nano. A ten-line textwrite example showing the automator doing something real would explain the scripting language faster than the description.
