How to pronounce“emac”in English

and emacs in theory can duplicate all of those features by you know

of emacs in c because at the time c was really the only language that worked on on uh on unix

spiritual successor of emacs because

features in emacs well I'll have to give it a serious try because uh as far as

we will still have emacs and vim or like pick it pick a let's say 50 100 years yeah yeah yes yeah no i mean

philosophy of emacs and by the way were all the implementations always in c and then no and how does lisp fit into the picture

basically living in emacs and it was it was the one written in mac list by

implementation of emacs like that could have been the dominant implementation like i use emacs that's my main id

mr emax and emacs had mushroomed into a series of text processing

as you probably know as an old emacs hack the the key part of emacs is that it it's mostly written in in lisp

the the interesting thing about emacs just is lasted a long time yeah and i i think if you talked about that there's a certain like there's certain

doing you know compilers and lucid emacs which was a fork of emacs famously jamie fighting against richard

like why i i still use sorry emacs eat for most uh i've actually know i have to confess something dark

torch is yeah i've used emacs and them doesn't matter yeah still just my heart somehow i fell in love with lisp i don't

you uh wrote a version of emacs that i think was very impactful on the history of emacs um what was your motivation

and so the original um emacs from mit sort of started out as

no so so the very first emacs was written as a bunch of macros for the tico text editor wow this is so interesting and the

very tightly encoding it and mostly what emacs did was it made that

grad student work and being mr emacs all at the same time

huh so many features um and the original emacs came out as so emac stands for editor

I didn't have very good Tooling in emacs for finding a definition of a function

vs code it doesn't matter but walk away from emacs for this particular application because I think I'm limiting myself in the same way that using two

and that that sort of new features of of emacs usually update all the list

immutable engine without almost everything in that core engine in emacs

you uh let me just ask the ridiculous futuristic question because emacs has been around forever do you think in 100 years

if you just have enough linux hackers writing emacs lisp macros um but you know at some point um

but uh the the problem with them similar with emacs

at mit and then people did a few other implementations of emacs

well it's roughly approximate roughly the same as emacs command set but using emacs with your eyes closed um so what

commands for all kinds of things and then people rewrote emacs

on the on the on the arpanet then and emacs was

so all that said you once you do type stuff up you use emacs yeah i use emacs obviously the superior editor of course

that level there always have to be sort of uh very simple well emacs isn't very simple

pascal compiler for multix and that was actually the first time i used emacs and and and so to write the compilers

and you know i could have been using um your implementation of emacs and why

the arpanet who might be able to to to take over looking after emacs

hundred thousand miles and you know what every little rattle of the car means I was very comfortable in emacs uh but there were certain things it couldn't do

did it with your life it is but uh there's something there's something beautiful to me about emacs but there's for people that love them there's something beautiful to them i

that my life has been a like a waste i'm so i'm not i'm not evangelical about emacs i

that were you know the the the code base was entirely different but it was sort of the philosophical style of the original emacs what was the

to make sure I use the state-of-the-art IDS for everything but my comfort place just like the Kinesis keyboard is still emacs

some very obscure thing improved in the part that's not in lisp but that's usually not why I would upgrade to a new version of emacs

brilliant so i think the right way to think about this is we map the some of the cryptocurrency battles into the space of like emacs versus vim

sometimes you need a really good just like i mean no one would think hey here's this great piece of software here's like i don't know gnu emacs or

is kind of funny because it it's so annoying it is so annoying when i do that's why i'm still using emacs is because i d it's like clippy on
