But that's a software made in Lisp for Lisp. The fact that it also works for other purposes doesn't change the fact that it's a "technology for the sake of technology" product, not "technology for the sake of goals".

- lispm 2y agoGNU Emacs wasn't written for Lisp. It was developed as an extensible text editor. Its extension language was also the implementation language for a large part of the software. Much of the application domain of GNU Emacs has nothing to do with Lisp. People edit their files with it or integrate with tools.
