My own clone of ed unix command
I find ed a really interesting piece of software, mainly for being so pedagogic in nature. Its workflow is based as in a shell, and then its functionality extends in a really scalable manner.
I'll be doing here what I've told some dozen of my students to do, build myself a clone of ed.
Careful considerations, on the development, a Roadmap some would call:
- Build a small shell
- Incrementally add functions
- Add support for custom command line arguments
- Pimp it up, in rude words "Just make it pretty"
According to this roadmap, I normally start by the first item , and jump between the last 3 concurrently, being that all of them are inter dependent.
Status:
- Still designing basic parts
