Generally, my preferred editor is nano, since it lives within those requirements but still has a decent UI. It's not always available though, and it's useful to know how to manage without it. But even though you won't always be doing this sort of thing, it's definitely something that a *programming language designer* should be aware of. Basic networking is critical to any modern language.
That's an odd opinion given that modern languages don't even want to have basic input and output as part of the language; they're offloaded to a library. And in your example, which I don't really understand, it seems more like the headache of the application.
(Where a language allows elements of a program to be disseminated across a network, that's rather different, and an advanced feature that only some languages might have. Not all.)
