The Dark Side
Emacs | 5.01.2008 01:14Чего только не выловишь по случаю из Гугла. Я всего лишь искал кнопку “Powered by Emacs”, а наткнулся на такую замечательную статью:
There is a dark side of the programming world. Some are never exposed to it … some have only had enough exposure to be scared by it. The dark side consists of a wide network of programmers, about 1 to 2 for every 10, who throw away the rules. They run strange operating systems, they spend free time on weekends experimenting with programming languages you’ve never heard of (Hask-what? Eif-who?) … and they don’t use the same tools that you do, to say the least. I remember the first time I witnessed a member of this “dark side” in action. I had wandered into the cubicle of one of our recent hires, a long-haired “Unix guy” who was in the midst of a rather furious coding session in a very strange looking editor (Vim, for the curious). Watching him operate his editor was truly an experience. He was working at a pace I’d never seen before, his cursor flying around the buffer like a pinball. I was like a child seeing a magician for the first time (that hat was empty!). I rudely interrupted his session — in part to marvel at his proficiency, but also to ask some questions about his current project. He walked me through the code he was working on, and the artistry continued — he seemed able to will his cursor around the buffer with the power of his stare, as if he was simply “thinking it” there. I’d never seen anything like it — he wasn’t using his editor — he was his editor.
Никто ведь не сомневался, что Столман на самом деле — владыка ситхов?

Если бы Столман сделал VIM, то да, но за казуальный Emacs ему ничего не причитается. ^_^

I asked my email-pal: “UNIX or Windoze?”. He replied “UNIX”. I said “Ah…me too!”.
I asked my email-pal: “Linux or AIX?”. He said “Linux, of course”. I said “Me too”.
I asked him: “Emacs or vi”. He replied “Emacs”. I said “Me too. Small world.”
I asked him: “GNU Emacs or XEmacs?”, and he said “GNU Emacs”. I said “oh, me too.”
I asked him “GNU Emacs 19 or GNU Emacs 20″? and he said “GNU Emacs 19″. I said “oh, me too.”
I asked him, “GNU Emacs 19.29 or GNU Emacs 19.34″, and he replied “GNU Emacs 19.29″. I said “DIE YOU OBSOLETE NOGOOD SOCIALLY MALADJUSTED CELIBATE COMMIE FASCIST DORK!”, and never emailed him again.
