lisp without emacs

is it possible to be fluent in lisp and not love emacs?

yes.

What is this heresy you write of?

Is it possible to be fluent in Christianity and not love God?

Of course. That dick.

Maybe you don't have to love emacs, but you will definitely love swank and slime (which are emacs scripts).  The truth is the integrated environment for lisp development in emacs is much more helpful than any other system.  You can tab complete function names, read the docstrings, view the hyperspec, and much much much more.  Check out Using Slime: http://common-lisp.net/project/movies/movies/slime.mov

Emacs as a whole I can take or leave, but slime (which is an emacs mode) is God's gift to Lisp programmers.

My grandmother is a case in point. She's all like ``don't do that because the Book says so; go to the church and you'll feel better'', but when someone asks her about God or Jesus, she says bullshit.

If you thing autocomplete (without ANY use of context or scope, just flat list of symbol matching), docstrings, and doc links make a great IDE then you truly are stuck in the 1960s.

Emacs is shit.  The problem is, nobody bothers making a better Lisp IDE.

Paul Graham uses vi.

Also, if you're feeling really masochistic, there is a plugin for Eclipse.

And some commercial Lisp implementations (like AllegroLisp) come with their own IDE, I heard they're better than Emacs, but never used one so I don't know.

Donald Knuth uses EMACS.
Linux Tornballs uses EMACS.
I use EMACS.

vi > emacs

/thread.

?

If you still have the desire to input lisp into a machine and have it preform the functions you describe, you haven't really gotten lisp.

I use Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition.

Expected token: IS THE STANDARD

>>15
Indeed, you should preform the functions first.

>>16
Why the fuck would you want to? Is it out of your free will, or is your boss telling you to? Because you have to be pretty dense to use something so unintuitive and help-menu-packed as this.

>>15
You're thinking of Scheme. Lisp is for real work.

>>16
Microsoft Visual Emacs 2009 Enterprise Edition
