Found this intro to Jove helpful:

Think I might actually use it when I need to make a quick edit to something in the terminal, instead of `nano` or `emacs -nw`

> How small is it? The Jove executable is roughly 150K

Which counts as small now that nano has ballooned to ~400KB?

For comparison, Turbo Pascal packed an entire x86 IDE into ~40KB.[1]

You should look into mg. It's included in OpenBSD's base system, and plenty of other systems have it present in their package manager.

Hadn't hear of mg. Thanks!

Pre-installed on macOS since 2019 (when it replaced Emacs), too.
