"I saw that lispy wrote about this. I happened to spot the original speech by Richard Stallman on reddit. The title intrigued me: “My Lisp Experiences and the Development of Emacs”. I’ll go through some pieces of it, because there are some interesting stories in here..."

"The Association of Lisp Users (http://www.alu.org/alu/home) will be holding an International Lisp Conference in 2009 [...] I'd be interested in hearing any (serious) suggestions for what we should do at the conference. This is an opportunity for you to submit your suggestions very early, before we start real planning. In particular, do you have any suggestions for invited speakers? Who would you like to hear from? ...

"Are you an Emacs user but don't know Lisp?

"...This essay is meant to put off some common wishful thinking. As noted before, a major benefit of a emacs with Common Lisp or Scheme Lisp is that they provide a unified, packaged, system for development of these languages, and since it uses the same language to extend functionality of the editor, it will transparently increase the number of developers for the editor as well as the language..."

"... a Lisp-based window system through which several Lisp programs and ordinary Unix programs can share a screen. Both C and Lisp will be available as system programming languages [...] Who Am I? I am Richard Stallman, inventor of the original much-imitated EMACS editor, now at the Artificial Intelligence Lab at MIT..."

"In this Episode we're talking with Dick Gabriel on Lisp. We started by looking at artificial intelligence as the historic context of Lisp, the goals AI tried to reach, and how Lisp was supposed to help reach those..."

"Have you ever wondered how it could be that Lisp is so powerful, and yet C is so much more successful and ubiquitous? How is it that so many brilliant coders know Lisp, and yet we so rarely hear from any of them other than Paul Graham? This is a great article that tries to explain it: the bipolar Lisp programmer." -- «So what's the problem with Lisp?

"...you can run Elisp (the Lisp interpreter Emacs is built on) programs from outside Emacs [...] This will make Emacs work like Perl or Python or Ruby or Bash—an interpreter that reads the rest of the program and executes the code..." -- nota bene: I love Emacs as a text editor!

"...This project is looking for someone who loves Emacs, Lisp and the game of chess, to fork it and take over as maintainer. The FSF has agreed to include Emacs Chess as part of the Emacs distribution, but I’ve held off because of a few remaining issues I want to see resolved before it goes mainstream..."
