I've seen Acme before. There is this webcast by Russ Cox that shows of what is interesting about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP1xVpMPn8M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP1xVpMPn8M I think it could be an interesting editor. It is a Plan 9 in the sense that it's API is a filesystem that it exports. This means any language that can talk to the filesystem can automate Acme. IIRC, there is a standard app called plumber that can be used to trigger contextually aware actions. It sounds neat. It is missing something I consider a deal breaker: no syntax highlighting. I know some people vocally dislike it, but I can't live without it. I would also be able to make it a different color than snot yellow. If I'm going to be staring at something all day, I'd like it to look decent.
