Hmm...
Maybe I should add the sentence that I deleted before posting the
above: I keep telling this story for several years already, and
nothing has ever happened from the side of remaining Emacs people. So
until there is a constructive proof of serious Emacs development
activity, I won't believe it anymore. (The yound and fresh forces
have mostly gone over to the vi side.)
Hi Makarius,
for the sake of a very, very interesting project as Isabelle certainly
looks like,
also having done fairly enough mistakes by myself, please permit to
outline what's wrong here IMHO:
first, there is no need to support Emacs actively by any core developers
of a programming language.
Just keep the path open.
Emacs and vi are fairly unrelated here. There is the joke Emacs is
missing an editor, which points at the direction.
Vi OTOH _is_ an editor, but rather hardly anything else. Emacs is a
lisp-machine, providing a highly flexible, often elegant language
environment. Emacs lisp created some addicts - which wasn't heard from
vim-script so far :)
So what's interesting is not Emacs itself, but what you could do on top
of an Emacs running Isabelle.
Best regards,
Andreas
