I don't use JED but I do use `most` from time to time, as a replacement for the `less` pager. I like the keybindings better. Apparently, it is implemented with S-Lang too.

- mhd 6y agoSLRN used to be be a pretty popular newsreader implemented with S-Lang, never mind that S-Lang, sans the language part, was a quite common alternative to ncurses as a terminal interface. The language itself is... interesting. C-like, but with some array-based constructs and quite a large amount of backwards compatibility -- there's a "_for" statement and default arguments are weird, as they're not mentioned in the prototype, but just done in the main body. It's a bit like Perl, but without the logic.
- zimpenfish 6y agoOh, I do miss slrn. Even now I still get spam to `slrn` email addresses from usenet spammers.
- zozbot234 6y agoWell, it's more like a weird mix of Emacs and old borland/ms IDE's. The menubar is great (and Emacs should just look like that by default, IMO), but overall it's missing useful cues like scrollbars and titlebars. The minibuffer-like area at the bottom looks a bit weird, whereas it could easily be reskinned as an "expanded" status bar, for consistency with the classic TUI/GUI look.
