Ennen QEditiä minulla muuten oli Hesulien yliopistossa muunneltu #MicroEMACS, jota joidenkin vahvistamattomien epämääräisten huhujen mukaan #LinusTorvalds yhä käyttäisi.

Over the past months I've been creating a #MicroEmacs look-alike called kg, clearly flirting with Mg, and today I've released v1.0.0! 🎉 Pick it up at https://github.com/troglobit/kg
I'm curious to hear what people think, there's a pre-built .deb file for users of #Debian #Ubuntu #LinuxMint, and yes for all the #Arch people there's a PKGBUILD file contributed early on by @bodil 😊

Microemacs! Linus writes
"This is a bad editor. Really. Unless you have used it since the 1980s, and have untrainable fingers, you should absolutely walk away and never look back. ...
So this is a simplistic editor, written for an age when you had 64kB limits and 300 or 1200 baud terminals were common. It was not a better age, and this is not a better editor."

@jukkan Oh, #MicroEmacs. I think I ported that myself to the obscure HP1000 A-series minicomputer (running a very non-Unix OS called RTE-A) back in the 80s. (Or at least improved it a lot if it had already been ported.)
I was used to real #Emacs at university and wanted something similar at work, too. (The Emacs I learnt to use was the OG one, written in TECO, on the PDP-10 (DEC-20). GNU Emacs did not yet exist then.)

@northernlights My peak productivity was with #edt/ #ked on #vt102. From there #ex/ #vi felt like a step down and so #vim/ #neovim remains a path never to be taken. Ported my own #microemacs around for some time. These days will use #pico/ #nano for quick things, #emacs otherwise or because #slime. Had #brief (😜 ) run-in with #teco, memory of which is buried, because trauma, granting only a bonus giggle reading "Real Programmers Don't Use Pascal". Didn't #notepad win the #editor war in the end?

Btw I just updated the jasspa #microemacs so it builds as a 32bit app using much recent MSVC, and it picks up the changes made after the last binary release in 2009

Very nice to hear that #MicroEmacs is still around. I wish that would have happened to my simple #Scame editor that I wrote in 1980 when I couldn't stand the ed/em/ex/vi family of editors.

One thing I can boast about is that it was damned quick on the Vax11/70 with 12 student terminals.

GNU #Emacs boot time is terribly long on Windose even with anti-virus scan disabled and minimal init.el, I remembered Jasspa #MicroEmacs and despite last update was in 2009 it still works well on Windose 11. Still for better Unicode support GNU Emacs is the way to go but the builtin mini games from microemacs is extremely fun, my favorite is mahjongg http://www.jasspa.com

Words can not express how transformative #MicroEmacs was to the #CommodoreAmiga development community.
In just 9 short months after the first version was ported by Dave Conroy, it had been improved more than a dozen times, culminating in Andy Finkel's version that showed up on the Amiga Toolkit disk in early 1986.

@itsfoss #Emacs since almost 30 year’s now. I even maintain my own fork of Mg #MicroEmacs 🤓
-
I'm quite proud that GNU #Emacs adopted my *quick* help buffer idea (C-h C-q) that I added to my #MicroEmacs fork (#mg) 😎
-
Updated my Mg clone on GitHub against the upstream OpenBSD version. Spent most of the time on the new screenshot ... 😅
#opensource #microemacs -
Allow me to present #MicroEmacs (mg2a) v3.7 based on the upstream OpenBSD mg. More of that GNU Emacs compatibility, more beginner friendly, and now also multi-arch Docker images.
-
@[email protected] lots of fixes and new backports from #OpenBSD to my #MicroEmacs clone, Mg. New release out soon, with packaging for #Buildroot
