@cwebber Now we need to run a fundraiser to allow Robin to continue work on #GuileEmacs as a side-project. :)

Well, hello: Robin Templeton has joined @spritelyinst!!

If you've been anywhere near the #Emacs community for the past decade, you've probably heard about the #GuileEmacs project: Templeton was the chief developer behind that.

With @wingo, @dthompson, @tsyesika and now Robin Templeton on board, the Spritely Institute is assembling quite a Dream Team.

#Guile #Emacs #Scheme #SpritelyGoblins #GuileWASM

Having followed the whole #GuileEmacs debate a few years ago, I was (and still am) surprised that #Edwin, the Emacs-family editor integrated into #MITScheme, never came up in these discussions.

While it certainly lacks the bazillion libraries that power #Emacs, Edwin is as GNU Emacs-like as it gets - and it's programmable in #Scheme! It has a great buffer/listener combo, an #Info reader, shell facilities, you name it. Any Emacs user would feel right at home in it. And also: Scheme, man, Scheme!

So, obviously, a Scheme-powered Emacs is not only possible, it has actually existed for quite a while now.

I really wish #Guile #Emacs got as much love as #Guix

I have nothing crazy to say *about* #GuileEmacs. I just want to mention it, & that it's a cool idea.

Thanks, BT Templeton 👍
