- needlesslygrim 1y agoI'm curious, why don't you use GNU Emacs?
- WalterBright 1y agoToo heavy. MicroEmacs loads instantly. MicroEmacs is small and lightweight. I port it to whatever machine I'm using, and it works nicely in a remote tty window. It doesn't need a customization language, as I just change the source code. Recently, I added color syntax highlighting to it, and support for unicode characters. https://github.com/DigitalMars/med https://github.com/DigitalMars/med
- 00000000000test 1y agoFor how long have you been coding without syntax highlighting?
- WalterBright 1y agoSince my hair left for the Klondike gold fields.
- needlesslygrim 1y agoThat makes sense, and it's interesting that both you and Linus Torvalds maintain your own versions of Micro Emacs. Sign of greatness perhaps :)
