Light Table, The New Emacs
- serf 13y agoWas this written by someone who is unfamiliar with emacs? It seems as if your praising Light Table for being more extensibile, but you never really touch on WHY it is more extensible. You just compare it equallly with what everyone already knows emacs is capable of. The main point is, it’s got (almost) no limit on what can be added and no limit on what can be removed, something Emacs is missing. How exactly is one's extensibility limited by emacs? Oh and one more thing. Emacs is millions of lines of Elisp plus the C code it uses. Light Table is only around twelve thousand lines of ClojureScript, at the time of writing. LoC means absolutely nothing. Light Table kickstarter occured in 2012, emacs first release was in 1976. That's probably a more important feature than LoC
