emacs 2026-10-28
I just learned that emacs is 50 🎂 emacs-spin No surprise it is a great tool for agentic engineering today, when it was actually born in an AI context back in 1976: > The original EMACS (an extensible, full-screen editor) was developed in 1976 at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory as a unified set of Editor MACroS (EMACS) for the TECO editor.

Makes sense, given that it is powered by a Lisp, which has been the most popular programming language for AI back then. Although I would have preferred the symbolic AI approach to succeed instead of the probabilistic one (I like transparency and reliability more than black-box vibing). Maybe one day we’ll have a synthesis of both…
