This is the vision from my understanding. I think of it as Emacs for the web, instead of just text. Super compelling vision, I really hope they can pull it off.

I’ve tried Nyxt a few times but I find it quite difficult to hack on, at the time it required an elaborate Emacs + SLIME + Common Lisp setup…I don’t use CL very much so it was a lot of work and quite fragile. I hope they can get editing bootstrapped into Nyxt so that I can modify it in Nyxt itself instead of a bunch of complicated external tooling. As it stands, there’s too much friction for me to hack on it.

Regardless, tons of promise and I’m eagerly following its development!



It seems they did it!

Wow nice! Thanks.


BTW, Emacs is not the only CL editor anymore. Besides Vim, Atom with SLIMA is getting very close to Slime. There are a couple extensions for VSCode, and more: https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl#text-editor-resou... Happy lisping :)
