Excellent editor this. But I'm not quite sure why you would create this.
From your profile I understand you are good with Python and you are good with Javascript, in your blog post : http://satyajit.ranjeev.in/2014/05/15/WTF-Github.html, you argue that Github took a very wrong step towards creating Atom, and you quoted

Don’t start by launching your own project. Lots of people want to write free software, so the first thing they do is scribble some code, slap on the GPL, and release version 0.0.1 alpha. While fun and possibly educational, this is totally unproductive.
I mean if you really believe in contribution why did you create a new Editor in GO? Please note, I am no way against you creating this text editor, I'm just trying to understand what your intention is.
And finally in the essay you quote that Javascript is a terrible language that happened to us and yet here we are a Text Editor written in Go and Javascript.
True my own words haunt me. I complained about atom as it was an editor that was a plain rip off sublime text. Just that it is done in JavaScript. I complained how they could not create something similar to Acme which was a brilliant innovation. I did try to customize Acme to what suited me. But clearly Acme's philosophy is quite different. Rob Pike says a big no to line numbers and highlighting.
On why I chose JavaScript: that is the only language you can use on the web browser. I tried several cross platform GUI toolkits that Go supported. They were half complete or abandoned. The web is the only sane cross platform development environment.
