Hi all, yes Picolisp Emacs environment is mostly unsupported these days, but anyone can of course clone it on GitHub and bring it up to date.
But unsupported doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't work anymore, I think some time ago somebody made the few necessary adaptions in the emacs mode to eliminate the references to obsolete Picolisp functionality from versions before pil21? Nowadays it's very popular to use Emacs with EVIL mode (like DOOM Emacs) to make use of the better editing model of Vim inside emacs. When already using Vim key bindings in Emacs, one could just as well directly use VIP for Picolisp, as Alex said. Cheers Thorsten Alexander Burger <[email protected]> schrieb am Sa., 29.
