Zed is written in Rust: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed. It seems relatively straightforward to write an extension for it, but I've never personally tried (I suck at Rust).

I will say that Lua is extremely easy to pick up, and as far as hacking on an IDE I think that simplicity might make it an ideal language.

I tried out Zed after reading this, super impressive and could overtake vscode in a year or two. Missing a few things like supporting editorconfig, but that's being worked on this week. Would switch immediately if it supported a few more things

nobody is going to take VSCode so soon. But I'm starting to feel the VSCode fatigue in the air. Kinda like with React. I was looking for another editor to use or maybe get back to emacs. Funny enough, as I have a lot of free time right now, I decided to code my own editor. It is very fun!
