BTW @shaunlebron In case you hadn’t seen this, some interesting comments here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14641658

Seems to have led to a bunch of issues too

cfleming02:06:47

Really awesome that there are instructions to set up a lot of these systems in VMs.

shaunlebron03:06:22

yeah! I have to say that I’ve enjoyed all the runnable ones so far (teletype, sedit, nokolisp). they’re very different from each other

shaunlebron04:06:40

i really wanted to try DEdit and Lispedit 😞, both seem really cool too

cfleming04:06:02

So no one paradigm to rule them all yet?

mikeb05:06:31

Very cool stuff, I can't wait to try out some of those. One that catches my eye is teletype where you edit only one expression at a time. The idea of zooming focus into and out of expressions is really intriguing.

shaunlebron06:06:35

i think ed works similarly, but for lines of text instead of expressions

shaunlebron06:06:38

that’s why i found nokolisp really interesting, it puts expressions on their own line so you can scroll through them like lines

shaunlebron06:06:40

@cfleming: working on a new paradigm

shaunlebron06:06:06

too early to be confident, but i think just simply looking at the previous state of the changed line can let us solve the balance problem for most cases

shaunlebron06:06:08

also, it might be enough to determine when to run paren mode when needed, like nightcode does with aggressive-indent behavior

mikeb08:06:52

Just had a little daydream... it's @shaunlebron and @cfleming teaming up to build a hundred year lisp/language/toolset and making a break from traditional editors, something truly transformational. Get the ui, tooling and community aspects right unlike efforts of the past. We just needs a large corporate sponsor willing to throw money at them for a decade or so. 🙂
