Considering V6’s singleton and isolated state, I think it’s possible to ‘decouple’ the EditorView instance from it’s state and instead dispatch updates through some asynchronous helper functions. I wish to do this because, well, it’s fun, and also because I’m doing some fairly heavy lifting on the DOM on the main thread (very, very fast Markdown live-preview, which itself is already heavily web-workerized and asynchronous) and I would like to isolate the potentially parse-heavy operations into a web-worker.
I would really appreciate some pointers or whatever technical knowledge is needed to make this work. If it isn’t possible, could it be put somewhere on the todo list for later? I know that monaco-editor already does this, so it would be a ‘competitive’ feature to have or have easily supported. It also has the nice bonus where if you screw up your parser, it just freezes the web-worker instead of the whole page!
