Message-ID: <bd4067fd-8114-40aa-9125-11bee2ef7a2e@default> (raw)

To come back to the question about learning programming
through Emacs and Emacs Lisp, I happened to reread this
RMS article today:
"EMACS: The Extensible, Customizable Display Editor"
This paper was written by Richard Stallman in 1981 and
delivered in the ACM Conference on Text Processing.[1]
Section "Blue Sky"[2] says this, apropos:
The programmable editor is an outstanding opportunity to learn to program! A beginner can see the effect of his simple program on the text he is editing; this feedback is fast and in an easily understood form. Educators have found display programming to be very suited for children experimenting with programming, for just this reason (see LOGO).
Programming editor commands has the additional advantage that a program need not be very large to be tangibly useful in editing. A first project can be very simple. One can thus slide very smoothly from using the editor to edit into learning to program with it.
