Either Gosling is being taken out of context or he's willingly obscuring the issue and occluding important information. Gosling did not invent Emacs and he has no claims to it like it's implied by this interview. Gosling Emacs was a different concept, much inferior to the original idea. Which is a good reason for why it's now in the trash bin of history. Guy Steele, David Moon, Dan Weinreb (RIP) and (later) Stallman were the originators and major forces and that's where credit should be given for Emacs-the-Lisp-virtual-machine that has stood the test of time. Origins of Emacs from Guy Steele himself: https://github.com/PDP-10/its/issues/1633 https://github.com/PDP-10/its/issues/1633 Gosling is not even mentioned, once.
