Show HN: Kind of reinventing Emacs and Elisp – looking for feedback
- setr 8y agouh... my first piece of feedback is that you need to actually have a better strategy than "emacs w/ JS" if you want any real feedback At the moment, there's literally nothing to give feedback on Congrats for starting it, I guess? Why do you think this will work where other attempts at replacing emacs has failed? Why JS over other options? What benefits over emacs? What architecture? Why that architecture over emacs current one? What are you plans on integrating with other editor plugins, if any, to steal your way into having an ecosystem before people fully invest in this? etc I mean hell, the most basic question: Why do you even want to replace/reinvent emacs?
- zeo1 8y agoThanks, v0.2 will be at least usable. Actually, I don't just want to replace emacs, we'll see.
- setr 8y agoI meant you need to actually state what you’re planning to do and why; not that it actually needs to be useable before it can criticized. Afaict, you’ve expressed almost nothing about what this program intends to be, other than “emacs”
- easytiger 8y agoIt's a modal editor. Philosophically and practically antithetical to emacs and its mission
