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

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

shaunlebron 2017-06-29T03:28:22.794465Z

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

shaunlebron 2017-06-29T04:08:40.061700Z

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

cfleming 2017-06-29T04:46:02.304757Z

So no one paradigm to rule them all yet?

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.

shaunlebron 2017-06-29T06:44:35.199680Z

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

shaunlebron 2017-06-29T06:45:38.209469Z

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

@cfleming: working on a new paradigm

shaunlebron 2017-06-29T06:48:06.232647Z

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

shaunlebron 2017-06-29T06:49:08.242751Z

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

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. 🙂
