It's the compute of the full tokens when file content is a very big. You can start the main https://github.com/angelozerr/textmate.java/blob/master/fr.opensagres.language.textmate/src/fr/opensagres/language/textmate/Main3.java which tokenize angular.js and you will see the problem. But VSCode has the same problem. When you open the angular.js file at first it is not colorized. After few seconds it is colorized. When you close and reopen it, the editor is already colorized (I think a cache must be done).

It's slow the first time when you open an editor.

No typing is very quick.

Exactly! Glad this idea please you:)

Yes sure, I will try to do that when I will find time. But to be honnest with you, I would like to know before if there are really people who could be interested with this project (and help me for contribution). I'm very busy with typescript.java, so I have a little time.

More I have done a lot of copied/pasted from vscode-textmate that I have updated to have Java syntax. VSCode is MIT, I don't know what I must set as header in my Java files.

Hey Angelo,

Would you be interested in contributing it to the org.eclipse.e4.ui repository. I believe you're already a committer there, and it would be mostly a matter of checking some IP consistency. I believe that making it available somewhere at Eclipse could really boost the adoption of that tool.
Then, when this code reaches a good maturity, we may be able to consider it as a "standalone" Eclipse.org project, or even to include it in Platform Text.

Cheers,
