vi opens multi-GB files just fine.

And for multi-TB files, "less -n" works.

You need to broaden your horizons about editors. Not all of then are javascript-based slopfests

The crash will happen in TreeSitter which is a widely used AST library that all modern editors, including neovim, depend on for syntax highlighting and which is also used by many LSPs.

Additionally, here's an appropriate XKCD: https://xkcd.com/378/

Please demonstrate that crash on “less -n” or vim with no plugins. I just happily opened a multi gb file in both. No issue

As soon as you demonstrate editing a file with less :)
