Well, you could try to use an emacs written in Common Lisp (eg. Hemlock or Climacs), but none come close to GNU emacs in number and sophistication of add-on libraries and modes. Of course, if you have to write the mode yourself because you're using a new language, you could as well write it for Hemlock as for GNU emacs. On the other hand, the GNU emacs users count several orders of magnitudes greater than the users of Hemlock, so it might still be better to write it for GNU emacs. -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ A bad day in () is better than a good day in {}.
