Before you start re-inventing the world, if I were you, I'd have a
look at what is "out there" already. Perhaps to contribute to it,
perhaps to copy it, but just perhaps to learn from it on how to

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_TeXmacs

I think Joris and the other (many!) contributors could share quite
a few stories...
