Why aren't you using ed, the standard text editor? It only has a few commands, it's on every Unix OS available, and let's you focus on what you're writing. Much better that vim and emacs. Both of them are bloated and therefore are shit.

If it's not lisp, it's shit. And ed is not a lisp, your faggot should know.

Archie on Plan 9 pawns all three editors.

We could easily implement an ed on Lisp.

>implying we need other editors when there is vim

>>5
vim is shit.

Ok. I challenge you and everyone else to implement ed on lisp of your choice. Perfect /prog/ challenge to celebrate 0x7DC.

An ed implemented on Lisp with syntax highlighting would be great.

Challenge requirements:

YOU MUST WRITE THE CODE USING ED

It's so meta, even this acronym

ed is the standard editor.

I am pleased to announce the release of GNU ed 1.6.

GNU ed is an 8-bit clean, more or less POSIX-compliant implementation of the standard Unix line editor.

The homepage is at http://www.gnu.org/software/ed/ed.html

The sources can be downloaded from http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/ed/ http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/ed/ or from your favorite GNU mirror.

This version is also available in lzip format. If your distro doesn't yet distribute the lzip program, you can download it from http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzip.html

The md5sums are:
9a78593decccaa889523aa4bb555ed4b  ed-1.6.tar.gz
e3d4dcfd260b2ebb2855c86ffca1947f  ed-1.6.tar.lz

This release is also GPG signed. You can download the signature by appending ".sig" to the URL.

Changes in version 1.6:

 * Displaying of null characters by the "l" command has been fixed.

 * The condition deciding when to show the message "Newline appended" has been corrected.

 * The "modified" flag is now set when reading a non-empty file into an empty buffer.

 * An error that prevented using NUL characters in regular expressions has been fixed.

 * Ed now signals an error if it can't create a shell process when executing a shell command.

 * Ed now flushes stdout/stderr before reading a new command.

 * Man page is now generated with "help2man". All command-line options are now documented in the man page.

 * The copyright notices of Andrew L. Moore have been restored. It seems Andrew granted some permissions but never assigned copyright to the FSF.


Please send bug reports and suggestions to bug-ed@gnu.org

If you are packaging ed for a distribution, please, try to use the lzipped source tarball, as this can improve the support for the lzip format in packaging systems. Thanks.


Regards,
Antonio Diaz, GNU ed maintainer.
