[Help-zile] Lua

[Brian Maher]

Hello Zile Users/Developers,

I noticed Reuben's post to the lua-l@ mailing list mentioning the lua
branch of zile.  This sounds like a pretty cool project.  I also ran
across this:

  http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/tweak/

...and when I investigate Zile's lua branch, it looks like a buffer is
simply a circular double-linked list of lines, which means most
operations are O(n) and there is a limit to the size of files that can
be put into a buffer.

What if Zile was changed to use the lazy-loaded btree described in the
paper about tweak above instead?  Has anyone given that thoughts?

Also, I notice the traffic on this list is pretty sparse.  Does that
mean the number of people using this editor is small?

Thanks,
-Brian
