@ireneista @intarga hey! Skimming over the history I started to wonder if I could learn about Rust and text editors just by reading how these evolved! If you keep the commits atomic I think itโ€™s doable! Maybe Iโ€™ll cite both as code thatโ€™s a joy to read!

@RosaCtrl @intarga that's such a truly delightful thing to hear!

we do work hard to keep commits atomic. our personal code-review workflow uses Gerrit, which is amend-heavy, meaning we revise commits into the perfect form of themselves before making them "real".

@RosaCtrl @intarga on that note, we just checked in a second one. it's a little on the long side, but that's normal during initial development...
