::
Perl6 will be the Emacs of scripting languages
Listened to
FLOSS Weekly #140
in the car yesterday.
The
Perl6
people are not only building a new language, including kitchen sink, they're building a freaking
distribution system
for packaging the thing.
Which reminds me of
Emacs
Another recent
FLOSS Weekly (#136)
http://twit.tv/floss136
was about
Emacs Org-Mode
http://orgmode.org/
Carsten Dominik, the Org-Mode inventor guy put it all into perspective for me:
Emacs is not so much a text editor as it is a LISP interpreter and environment that happens to have a text editor as its front-end.
