Very accessible writeup, thank you, I was able to share this with many people.
Could you maybe make a follow up comparing and contrasting the Piece Table with the Rope data structure for text editing?
A software engineer living in Edinburgh, Scotland. I'm passionate about programming, learning new things (and sharing what I learn), digital art, and good sci-fi/fantasy books! 💻📚🎨✨
I'm really happy to hear you found it accessible, that was my main goal :)
Unfortunately, I've never studied or implemented a rope in the past so it would be difficult to give an informed view of how they compare. If I ever take the time to learn about ropes, I'll probably end up writing about them, though!
Thanks for sharing the post too.
