Reverse engineered prompt

Build me a modern Vim style text editor that feels fast and stays easy to extend.

I want it to keep the familiar Vim workflow, but be easier to maintain, support plugins, and expose a good API so other tools can control it from languages like Lua, Python, JavaScript, and Rust. It should include a built in terminal, async job support, shared session state between editor windows, and sensible support for standard config locations. Make sure it works well with existing Vim plugins as much as possible, and leave the design open for modern GUIs to hook in cleanly.

Please set up the project so it builds cleanly from source and runs on the main desktop platforms. If you need to check current build or dependency details, look up the latest docs online first.

Are you gonna build this?
