Well, I don't think *ideal*, but indeed, it wouldn't be bad. And 
my little thing isn't quite JS, I borrow some ideas from D too. 
So it has string slicing for example, and the ~= operator instead 
of += for concatenation.

I think it'd be ok for a text editor. And heck, I might be 
writing one kinda soonish (I'm kinda reminded of the scene from 
Star Wars where Luke builds his own lightsaber, a rite of passage 
for a Jedi... every master programmer writes her or his own text 
editor at some point too...)

I'm in no rush though, with all the other stuff going on, 
"soonish" probably means "in the next three years".
