Earlier quoted context omitted.

So it started as a celebretion of the annexation of Crimea by Russia?

It could be, "With all the excitement going on, finding a nice programming project to distract me seemed like a good idea."

We need to make sure this isn’t the neutral-connotation usage of the word “excitement”.

A plane crashing into the neighbors house can be “exciting”.

Hmm, interesting genesis: > When it was 2014 or 2015, we had some big events in Russia (Crimea related) so many people here were excited. I was too, so I wanted to program some new project. https://sourceforge.net/blog/march-2020-community-choice-pro...

The word you are referring to is "čuda" or equivalently in cyrilic "чуда" pronounced "chuda".

I thought this was going to tell me about a hardware accelerated text editor.

There are multiple GPU-accelerated terminal emulators; I suppose, why not a text editor?

The CudaText author is here. No, I did not celebrate the Crimea 'annexation' (in local Ru talks, we cannot name it 'annexation', we must name it 'reunion'). But I was reading such big amount of news at that time, in 2014, that I was excited only from this wave of news. Many patriotic people in Rus were happy and welcomed that. Many opposition people in Rus were not happy and did not welcome that. But the wave of news was very big. For me the Crimea was not positive news. I never have been in Crimea. I never got the FREE ticket to rest in Crimea. The rest in Crimea is not cheep. In 2014 and in 2022. It costs big amount.
