Sublime Text updates internal Python engine to version 3.14

Sublime Text, the cross-platform code editor, has upgraded its embedded Python runtime to version 3.14, keeping the plugin API current with the latest language release. The editor remains a lightweight alternative to full IDEs, offering a single license for use across Windows, Mac, and Linux systems.

Developer prototypes a custom text editor after souring on Sublime Text and VS Code

Frustrated with the state of modern software, a developer decided to build their own text editor from scratch instead of relying on Sublime Text or VS Code's Monaco-based engine. Their first prototype rendered everything on an HTML canvas element, handling basic cursor movement, typing, and line highlighting, but lacked features like text selection, undo history, and scrolling. Realizing canvas rendering was inherently inaccessible, they pivoted to using a contenteditable div with plaintext-only mode as a more practical foundation.
