This really amazes me. Just tried it out and (of course) it's fully functional. Although I have to say that this is probably the way I have to code in hell.

The way to code in hell would be vi (not vim) but without any command support >:D Starts in insert mode, and that's it. Kind-of like the old days where computers had no persistence and you just had to type in all of your code at once.

I've been working on and off on my own tiny computer. Mostly MicroPython.

I finally got it the stage where I wrote an editor - and I've been using it.

Not a good editor. Append only, has to be typed directly into the machine. Does that classify?

Have you tried writing code with a magnet and a needle ? https://xkcd.com/378/

Real-time results updating is kind of heavenly, though.
