I was wondering if Haskell would be good for scientific computation. It has bignum like Python, but I think it is more popular among mathematicians than physicists. Joe can emulate Emacs, Pico and another editor called WordStar (which I think is hardly ever used these days), but it doesn't emulate Vi. Perhaps the guy who wrote it hates Vi. Interestingly I believe Vi was designed for writing C source. Bill Joy was working on the first BSD OS around the same time, the original Vi was probably involved in the bootstrapping process.
