Also if anyone wants to dip your toes into teco, we're sufficiently full circle that there's an emacs implementation of it you can use! https://github.com/mtk/t

- ggm 2y agoIt's emulated turtles all the way down.
- gumby 2y agoI used to use meta-altmode (a non-ascii key on the KTV) to enter the minibuffer (note: not the region under the mode line) that accepted raw TECO and interpreted it directly. And to be more extreme: you could actually write small assembly routines and run them in the registers (the first 20 addresses in the PDP-10 address space were the registers — super fast bc they were implemented with semiconductors rather than core!). That was hardcore and I only did it once or twice, just for fun.
- Blackthorn 2y agoI'd love to learn enough TECO to be able to do exactly that with Emacs's teco mode. I do it with ex (through viper) all the time. At this point I wonder if my brain has ossified to the point that it's incapable of learning a new language syntax.
- gumby 2y agoHave you ever seen TECO? It barely has syntax — it looks like line noise. Would you want to run the local assembly language (x86 or ARM) or are you thinking of also doing this with a PDP-10 emulator? Either way, this would be rather cool.
- anyfoo 2y agoIt’s a bit trite to call out the next nesting step, but in this particular case I’d really like to see original TECO emacs running in modern emacs TECO.
