I care a lot about being able to automatically check any property about my program before it ever runs. However, some things don't have tests yet.

Compromises

Lua is dynamically typed. Tests can't patch over lack of type-checking.

• All strings are UTF-8. Bytes within them are not characters. I try to label byte offsets as _offset, and character positions as _pos. For example, string.sub should never use a _pos to substring, only an _offset.

Todo list

persistence: select a point and name it, quit, restart. Name is still visible.

undo: naming points deleting points moving points

resize: create a file containing a long line of characters without spaces. try resizing the window vertically and horizontally, as far as possible.
