Now I'm confused. Which windowed program were we discussing? Not the
text editor, which predates Windows 1.0 by more than a decade.
SLIME? I thought someone said it was a script in the editor's
internal scripting language.
Emacs Lisp is a full-scale programming language. Most of Emacs is
written in it.
Googling for Emacs and Slime, the first hit I got was this page:
<http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/>. The page is short and to the
point, and it begins with a description and feature highlights.
There is a screenshot of a window that seems to match Adlai's
description, more or less. A link to a long QuickTime movie is dead,
but a link to a shorter demo works, apparently it is in Flash:
<http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/vnc2swf/slime.html> The link to the
manual works. The link to the mailing list works, and development
seems to be active.
(I don't mean this as a flame, and I don't see how this can be
construed as such. If it happens, it happens, and so be it.)
