The video is not bad but as I watched it when it came out I thought that they missed what for me is the most interesting part: how the console/debugger/ui combination is fully hyperlinked: http://www.codersnotes.com/notes/a-constructive-look-at-templeos/#shell http://www.codersnotes.com/notes/a-constructive-look-at-temp... There are precedents of that though: from what I’ve seen in videos and read in manuals, the integrated LISP environments like Genera did have that much earlier. That was built by teams of people with way more resources than him. I think Terry Davis was right in that some valuable things have been lost in modern computing systems. BTW, today I watched a demonstration of an IDE from the 1990s linked from another HN discussion which also hyperlinked things like the debugger (gdb) output etc.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQQTScuApWk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQQTScuApWk It was the company that made Lucid Emacs (later XEmacs) which they built for this purpose: graphic elements combined with monospace text.
