@elextr (an offtopic comment, I'll remove it after your reply; I don't know where else I could have asked you this question) I noticed this https://github.com/elextr/julia 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++).
How realistic would be a text editor like Geany written in Julia? Did you ever think about such a thing? Or does it make little sense, as so much of Geany relies on pre-written C(++) libraries (scintilla,.others?..) , that most of the Julia code would be just interfacing with C(++)?
