The presentation based REPL in Emacs + SLIME was inspired by the Symbolics Lisp Machine presentation feature.
But I can assure you, there is a difference of a REPL feature in an editor and a GUI using it system wide, as on the Lisp Machine. Both in depth of the features, integration and the feel of the user interface.
- TeMPOraL 11y agoHaven't had a chance to experience it myself yet. I'm watching the videos now though and I think I begin to see the difference.
- lispm 11y agoCheck out this video (which I made some time ago), which shows the presentation UI from an application perspective (here a document authoring system) and as a bonus, the application integrates Zmacs (the Emacs of the Lisp Machine)... https://vimeo.com/83886950 https://vimeo.com/83886950 Think of the Documentation Examiner a version of Emacs Info. Think of Concordia as a version of an Emacs buffer editing documentation records. The listener a version of the Slime listener. You can also a short glimpse of the graphics editor, IIRC.
