• Emacs-ng: A project to integrate Deno and WebRender into Emacs

  There's also Lem, which has a good vim mode and is scriptable in Common Lisp (since it's built in CL) :D https://github.com/lem-project/lem/ It has: LSP support, a treeview, project-related commands, a directory mode, a POC git mode… with ncurses and SDL2 UIs. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Setting up a fundraiser for multi-threaded Emacs, any thoughts on this?

  Indeed, at this point it's just better to contribute to Lem. Source: about 1 year ago

• Lem text editor

  Its working in glibc, you just need to install void-repo-multilib, roswell or quicklisp inside sbcl, and ncurses-devel, then follow the install instructions here. Source: over 1 year ago

• I didn't know that there exists an Emacs clone written in Scheme. It is called "Edwin" and part of MIT/GNU Scheme.

  Lem is sort of a "spiritual clone", not a 1:1 clone of Emacs, written in CL. Source: over 1 year ago

• Emacs-like editors written in Common Lisp

  Lem uses its LSP mode. https://github.com/lem-project/lem/ (don't know much more, maybe it is that one (same author) https://github.com/cxxxr/cl-lsp). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Emacs-like editors written in Common Lisp

  It is missing the Lem editor, that works for CL out of the box but also for more languages (Python, Rust, HTML… and a directory mode). https://github.com/lem-project/lem/ It works on the terminal and in an experimental Electron front-end. More are in the works. It lacks docstrings and documentation, but its gitter chat is somewhat active and different people showed interest in helping. It is an easy to install CL... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• What features should a Lisp IDE have?

  Perhaps you can find some ideas if you check out the Lem project https://github.com/lem-project/lem. Source: over 1 year ago

• Convince Me to Use Emacs or Not To. VS Code User.

  If you're interested, there's a promising project called Lem. It's an Emacs-like that uses Common Lisp that's already very performant (and it's multithreaded) and is a lot simpler since it doesn't have Emacs' history yet. Source: over 1 year ago

• Slynk independent client

  I didn't know about CEDAR! I thought there are only these Emacs replicas in Common Lisp: Hemlock and Lem. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Emacs for Professionals

  Well there's a working Emacs-like in Common Lisp! https://github.com/lem-project/lem/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Have always fantasized about writing an Emacs-like editor. What would be a good language (apart from LISP)?

  Yeah, there is not reason not to use lisp and a million reasons to use it. https://github.com/lem-project/lem. Source: over 2 years ago

• Second Climacs – Emacs Implementation in Common Lisp

  That's very cool and I'm waiting for it but the usable Common Lisp based editors are Lem and LispWorks: https://github.com/lem-project/lem/ supports CL, Python, C, Rust, CSS, Go, HTML, Java, JS, Nim, OCaml… (see the modes/ directory), it has a directory mode (à la dired) and it seems to support LSP (I only tried it for CL so far). It is very much Emacs inspired, but is lacking documentation and self-documentation... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Second Climacs – Emacs Implementation in Common Lisp

  You can use CL for everything[0] :] As for text editors, there's Lem and LispWorks https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl https://github.com/lem-project/lem/ https://lisp-journey.gitlab.io/blog/discovering-the-lispworks-ide/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Nyxt Version 2.0.0!

  +1, and a reminder that a Common Lisp editor already exists with Lem (minus the advanced UI!): https://github.com/lem-project/lem/, also with an ahem Electron interface, and here an OpenGL one: https://github.com/gregcman/lem-opengl). Source: almost 3 years ago

• Can i learn other programming languages a little bit easier if i learn common lisp?

  You can use either Portacle or lem, both work pretty well. Source: about 3 years ago

• [Discussion] Emacs (somewhat) following suckless philosophy?(Newb quetion)

  Lem is just slightly less suckless, but just as extensible as normal emacs. Source: about 3 years ago

• Are there extensible environments in the manner of Emacs outside of text editors and developer tools generally?

  Well, there is Lem, the editor built for out-of-the-box support for Common Lisp: https://github.com/lem-project/lem. Source: about 3 years ago

• From Vim to Emacs in Fourteen Days

  Am I the only person who uses Lem? An Emacs-clone written and extended in Common Lisp rather than the weird version of Lisp Emacs uses. https://github.com/lem-project/lem. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago
