    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. 😂

          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)

            A little known fact that someone wrote emacs so it suits the “bloated manatee” name? No, that’s something we would have blocked from our minds; and now I need to buy more jaegarmeister to do it again.
