Vim was born in Amiga and Amiga OS came with some Emacs clone.
- pjmlp 1y agoI surely don't remember such clone. As for where Vim was born, hardly matters, it was someone with UNIX culture background, that happened to own an Amiga.
- anthk 1y agoAmiga OS 3.1 has it under the Workbench floppy sets. You get it by default.
- pjmlp 1y agoAmiga 500 was shipped with AmigaOS 1.2 in 1987, Amiga OS 3.1 was released in 1994, almost at the end of the commercial life of Amiga. As the sibling comment points out, MicroEmacs isn't really Emacs. Also Emacs history is older than UNIX, and overlaps with Lisp Machines.
- tralarpa 1y ago> I surely don't remember such clone. I think they mean MicroEmacs. Despite its name, it was not Emacs, but it had Emacs-like keyboard shortcuts, multiple buffers, and macros, which was quite neat for a free 1986 application on a home computer.
- pjmlp 1y agoI guess that is it, thank for the memory refresher, and to be more precise, MEmacs.
