Another similarish editor is Helix, which is, I think, nicer since it has tree sitter grammars builtin

  Does any of them support more advanced functionality that can be provided with plugins? Similar to how, let's say, Emacs has slime for lisp? From what I see helix has stopped being developed, probably ppl think its done but i feel its half baked without a plugin system and tons of basic functionality missing.

    Helix is actively developed, they just haven’t cut a release since July last year. Most recent major feature to land in master was workspace trust. The Scheme-based plugin system (https://github.com/mattwparas/helix/tree/steel-event-system https://github.com/mattwparas/helix/tree/steel-event-system) is almost ready to go. The plan is to merge it to master after the next release, whenever they get round to that. It’s easy to build from source though, I’ve been using it daily for over a year, and there already are several dozen reasonably sophisticated plugins available.

      I searched a bit to find the extension language. Basically an embeddable Scheme similar to Racket in Rust. https://github.com/mattwparas/steel https://github.com/mattwparas/steel
