Second iteration of the eddy text editor

Eddy v2

This is the second iteration of my text editor. Differences with v1 are that it's implemented in C (instead of C++) using the raylib library (instead of SDL).

Why?

Goals

I'm from the emacs school (as opposed to the vi school), and while vi has been reiterated a number of times over the years- first vim in the 90s, and now neovim, emacs is still a continuation of the original Stallman project.

I think the emacs way of thinking needs to be brought into the twentyfirst century. I'm not aiming at copying emacs functionality, but the whole "everything is a macro" ethos appeals to me, and also the insert/command mode separation that vi has doesn't work for me (and yes, I tried. I probably wrote more code in vi than you ever have before you were even born).
