The Rockset question editor is constructed on CodeMirror, an open supply code editor library for the net. (Shoutout to the maintainers for creating such an excellent library!)

CodeMirror 6 is a from-scratch implementation of CodeMirror based mostly on the learnings of the earlier variations with main extensibility and efficiency enhancements. Upgrading to CodeMirror 6 required a whole rewrite of the Rockset question editor, so we took the chance to make some further design and usefulness enhancements.
