Serious question: if one were willing to give up on curses, isn’t Emacs/elisp providing the best multiplexing system available to humankind? And conceptually, why would agents ever need to depend on curses?
- trollbridge 2mo agoConcretely, Emacs/elisp isn't particularly great for handling the newer terminal protocols that allow things like Shift+Enter, Ctrl+Space, etc., along with high colour support or better handling of the alt/meta/⌥ key. Hence why the flurry of new terminal emulators. The other problem is it does have to be hosted somewhere, and if you run it locally, it goes away when you close your laptop. If you run it remotely, you have the latency to the remote site. I suspect Superlogical is going to find a way to fix this problem.
- broodbucket 2mo agoIf you can find a way to stop Emacs from being painfully single threaded, yeah.
