i wonder if anyone's ever written a text editor that memory-maps the text area

@bjornsdottirs what do you mean by this

@croissant i mean the text editor being a mmap()d file rather than the result of malloc()

@bjornsdottirs @croissant probably not, because afaik text editors use more sophisticated structures than a plain array of characters

otherwise every single insert and delete would involve a massive memcpy() of all the text after the cursor
