Barry | Most people that complain that they want a CL-Emacs haven't really | said what they'd do with it or what applications they'd develop for it | that they won't make for our current Emacs. Yes, having Gnus be able | to poll multiple servers simultaneously would be nice. Is that all??? what I have wanted that can't be done in the current Emacs are: 1 an Emacs server that talks to several Emacs clients that don't interfere (such as one process per X window/Emacs frame). 2 file-system server processes in user space which serve Emacs clients with network-optimal fragments of files on remote and local hosts alike, such that you can edit files with the native privileges of several users. 3 integration via foreign function interfaces to other code on the system. (there is now an Emacs with some dynamic loading support.) #:Erik
