Writing a Programmers Editor (Reflections & Lessons) - Part 12
Looking back at the series — what we learned, what worked, and answering the questions from Part 1.

The extensibility layer — major modes, minor modes, hooks, and giving the user 100% power.
Writing a Programmers Editor (Undo/Redo & Command Log) - Part 10
Building undo and redo — from linear history to undo trees, and the command log pattern.
Writing a Programmers Editor (Syntax Highlighting) - Part 9
Adding colour to code — tokenization, fontification, and how to build a syntax highlighting engine.
Writing a Programmers Editor (Search & Replace) - Part 8
Implementing incremental search and replace — from naive string matching to efficient algorithms.
