Interesting. I never knew about that, or had long forgotten. The assertion about the editor being written in Common Lisp is especially surprising; is that true? I never used Lucid or SPE, but I certainly did use Lucid Emacs -- in fact I still use XEmacs daily. Why would they have written a second editor?
- lispm 9y agoLucid had an editor called Helix. It was based on CMUCL's Hemlock. Probably that's also the editor SUN used in SPE. Hemlock is a Emacs variant written in Common Lisp. Lispworks's and Clozure CL's editor also started from Hemlock.
