For Sean or anyone who finds Sean's narrative compelling (I do), imagine emacs without the learning curve! I say it's possible and I point to the long-extinct FRED (Fred Resembles Emacs Deliberately) that was part of Macintosh Common Lisp as a proof of principle. I don't have the time or chops to develop such a thing, but if anyone here does then this would be a way to make the world a better place. -Lee -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
