I don't know. I can't do it. Bash is the devil I know.
But zsh doesn't even use readline, which is bananas to me. Sure, provide an alternative but at least support readline.

Why? ZLE is what makes zsh compelling for users. It provides a high level of customizability into command line editing that is simply not possible with bash. It powers zsh's most touted completion feature as well as popular plugins such as zsh-syntax-highlighting[1] and zsh-autosuggestions[2]. Replacing it with readline would be a sure way to lose a majority of users in a blink of an eye.
