About fin's beginning:

Written by Digit, with a lot of "help" from Claude Sonnet 4 LLM, with a lot of hand-holding, over 35 sub versions from 0.000 to 0.035 to get to proof of concept initial feature completeness without bugs, to version bump to 1.000.

All started on a whim, realising fish is capable of this, and, knowing I'm slow to take to elisp or lua for extending emacs and nvim, while fish is the language I know best... and it's a nice idea that my text editor is written and extensible in the same language as my shell.
