"Finally, of all the people who have contributed to the development of EMACS, and the TECO behind it, special mention and appreciation go to Richard M. Stallman. Henot only gave TECO the power and generality it has, but brought together the good ideas of many different Teco-function packages, added a tremendous amount of new ideas and environment, and created EMACS. Personally, one of the joys of my avocational life has been writing Teco/EMACS functions; what makes this fun and not painful is the rich set of tools to work with, all but a few of which have an "RMS" chiseled somewhere on them."
- gnulinux 8y agoI think RMS is an old school, a true hacker. Most things happening in tech industry today, if you go deep down, there is an RMS chiseled somewhere on something. I wish we could have him in HN, he's a very interesting person.
