- alpaca128 8mo agoTo be fair the original EMACS did not have Lisp scripting, neither do implementations like MicroEmacs. Are those not Emacs-like?
- kurouna 8mo agoI understand that for many, Lisp is the soul of Emacs. When I use the term "Emacs-like," I’m specifically referring to the UI, UX, and the muscle memory of its keybindings, rather than trying to build a full Lisp-based clone or a replacement for the original. My goal is simply to package that unique physical typing experience into a standalone, zero-setup application for a niche group of users (including myself) who value that specific workflow.
