freja: Self-modifiable editor for coding graphical things

SMRTR summary

Freja is a self-modifiable text editor built in Janet, a functional Lisp-like language. It lets developers evaluate code directly inside the editor using Ctrl+L and Ctrl+Enter, running files in isolated environment tables. Currently in beta, it's stable enough for daily use, with built-in file backups and primary support for Janet, though it works as a general-purpose editor too.
