Thank you for the warm welcome!

To answer the "Why Electron and JS?" question from the thread: honestly, it didn't start as a strict technical decision. It started purely out of my curiosity as a software engineer.

I use VS Code at work, and I just wanted to see what its underlying technology (Electron) was like to build with. Once I started playing with it, I realized it was a remarkably solid and flexible platform. That inspired me to try building something I had always wanted: a zero-setup, lightweight Emacs-like editor.

As a happy side-effect, using web technologies allowed me to use the Japanese IME without any stress, just like Windows Notepad. Unlike Windows Emacs, which sometimes requires special configurations, I was able to make it work just by running elecxzy.exe.

So while it lacks the beautiful Lisp ecosystem of true Emacs (like Lem), it started as a fun technical exploration that eventually became my daily driver!
