Emacs-like editor written in Common Lisp

Emacs is already 55% Lisp, but that just wasn’t good enough 😆

This apparently is for Steel Bank Common Lisp, which I’d never heard of.

SBCL is one of the more popular runtimes for CL as far as I know. I think the big advantage with Lem is that CL is a much better language than Emacs Lisp which is like Js of Lisps. 😂

Yeah… I was rooting for Guile Scheme to replace elisp, but that’s been stalled out like forever https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GuileEmacs

I was just talking about that with a friend the other day. I remembered it was a thing, and then I looked it up and looks like nothing’s been happening with that in a while.

@davel @yogthos it seems to be a little known fact that Per Bothner, the author of Kawa Scheme, also developed JEmacs - a variant of Emacs that runs on the JVM.

(I haven’t used it though, so I can’t say if there’s anything substantial missing from it)
