I wish Geany was written in Julia; I want to learn it , and that way I could contribute to Geany with code (I don't like C/C++).
When Geany was started Julia wasn't even a gleam in Jeffs eye. To contribute to projects you need to learn the languages they use, wishing it was something else won't get you anywhere. And if you don't know C/C++ well, how do you know you don't like them?
How realistic would be a text editor like Geany written in Julia? Did you ever think about such a thing?
I guess its possible, but not the focus of Julia, notice it uses things like Juypter and Atom, not its own editor.
