Too heavy. MicroEmacs loads instantly.

MicroEmacs is small and lightweight. I port it to whatever machine I'm using, and it works nicely in a remote tty window. It doesn't need a customization language, as I just change the source code.

Recently, I added color syntax highlighting to it, and support for unicode characters.

That makes sense, and it's interesting that both you and Linus Torvalds maintain your own versions of Micro Emacs. Sign of greatness perhaps :)

For how long have you been coding without syntax highlighting?

Since my hair left for the Klondike gold fields.
