Emacs rewrite in a maintainable language
- melling 11y agoHe should just rewrite it in Lisp. We've actually had this discussion on HN. Here's a recent comment I made this year: "My comment is that he should have built more of it in Lisp since it's a better language. First he needed a better Lisp (ie. high-performance Lisp). Then he would have had a better foundation. Wouldn't we be better off with hundreds of millions of lines of free software in Lisp rather than C?" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9559800 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9559800 I'm not sure why most people don't get it. Well, at least rms is now onboard.
