Make your own text editor - from scratch

Details

Another month, another meetup.

Inspired by Gary Bernhardt's Text Editor From Scratch (https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/screencasts/catalog/text-editor-from-scratch), we're all gonna make our own terminal based text editor. This will be a delicious exercise in hacks, over engineering, and neat Clojure code. Use Clojure or ClojureScript. Or whatever you want, really, as long as you don't end up trolling us Clojure users too much.

Your organizers already have a ClojureScript based proof of concept (https://github.com/slipset/editor) up and running, in case you want to copy and paste and take it from there. Or you can start completely from scratch and do whatever you want.

Don't expect having a full emacs clone up and running in an hour, but maybe you get to edit some text and even save your changes to disk.

See you all there!
