Concurrency in elisp would bring the benefits that Chrome brought with it's thread-per-tab design. I feel like I'm in the 80's when I can't touch my other windows while the repl gets loaded; and crossing my fingers that it doesn't crash emacs.
- hollerith 12y agoWhat "REPL" do you use that locks up Emacs while it loads? Unless I am very much mistaken, cmuscheme.el (a.k.a. Inferior Scheme mode) and all the other modes derived from Comint do not ever lock up Emacs.
- rprospero 12y agoNot a repl, but I often have to stop coding for five minutes when I load up gnus.
- RBerenguel 12y agoI switched to nognus for better speed, and recently made the jump to mu4e with offlineimap. And I'm already in love, so fast and non-blocking when refreshing emails! Of course, I could have had offlineimap with gnus, but it was a tedious setup (when I checked) and mu4e was quite a breeze. Local indexed search is so good I'm don't care that much now about filing emails anymore.

- malandrew 12y agoI honestly don't understand why many such services aren't designed as APIs that any editor can interact with via an API. TernJS is an example of a tool that takes this approach[0]. Just make the solutions for each of the problems needing to be solved LISPy. Wouldn't it be great if one day other editors are using LISP based language tools via API in their text editor of choice. http://ternjs.net/ http://ternjs.net/
