Disclaimer: I'm a gnu nano contributor.

It makes me happy seeing nano being considered this way. Some of the features cited in the article were developed, improved, influenced or implemented by me; mainly macros and external commands.

It is possible to use the linter combined with macros as a "go to implementation" or "go to declaration"[1]. I think it is also possible to do the same so it can get completions from external commands.

I'd like to improve nano enough to make it a good IDE, but its main developer is against it.
