Garnock-Jones intended to be a small project or is he meaning for it to
grow to be a serious contender with emacs, vim, etc?
I agree with Greg that the ecosystem and momentum around emacs is its
strongest point. I've
So I've spent a lot of time using both Racket and Elisp over the past
couple years. My feeling:
- Racket is much nicer.
- Elisp is not nearly as bad as I first thought.
Some other baseless opinions:
1. An opposite approach would be to put a more Rackety face on
Elisp. But. I feel it's probably

At the moment, it's just for my own edification.

I want to explore it as a way of getting a Racket REPL on steroids. I
imagine firing up Racket, getting a deceptively normal-looking
terminal-style REPL, working for a bit (with rich, full-emacs-style
functionality available at the REPL), and then

I think if there is a direction to go in, it's to make a SSH-friendly and
truly extensible text version of DrRacket. I would use this all day; I
only really use vim because it's terminal friendly and the editing is
great.
DrRacket offers a lot in terms of integration with Racket facilities

Reimplementing GNU Emacs, with backward compatibility, was one of the
original intents of Guile, but that never happened. (I won't get into
the reasons I know of, but a big indirect one was not due to any fault
of Guile or its people, IMHO, nor were they likely even aware of it.)
This is an excellent idea. I have no idea if this is being worked on,
but I would love to help such an effort.

Guile has adopted a lot of Racket ideas. So they are building the platform to

Consider building Emacs in Racket and then building a sane API. This project
probably requires an even longer time horizon. Tony Garnock-Jones of

I've implemented three programmers' text editors in days gone by, two of which
were inspired by Emacs. It's easy to improve on Emacs' architecture and
implementation but that just guarantees that the new improved editor will
languish in obscurity since it doesn't have the momentum of the
