TECO as inspiration #1

There is a wonderful text editor called TECO. It has some commands like Vim/Ed have, but it also has macros support, and it's in fact a progamming language. I think you can use it for something.

Yeah, I briefly seen this as I was researching line editors, but didn't look too much into it. I'll definitely look into it, especially the macro stuff as I'm planning on adding a plugin system and at the very least macro-like functionality (like the dot command in vim which repeats the last command that you've done). Thanks. If I use it as inspiration, maybe I should change Edim to Tedim? 😄

If I'm using 4coder, Ed, and TECO as inspiration, I could call it EdimCoder (ED IMproved teCO 4coDER). All the other possibilities that I came up with sounded stupid (e.g. 4EdimCo), but this one actually sounds decent.
