# emacs mode?

## Shae Matijs Erisson — 2003-01-17 17:27:41

    Has anyone written an emacs mode for Joy?

    I'd love to see something like the Python or Haskell modes.

    thanks,

    If you only want to identify primitive keywords and not user

    definitions this is easy to write. I hacked an old Forth mode for Joy

    to give nice indentation, bracket matching and some syntax colouring.

    Ideally some support for interactive use would also be provided. I

    don't have this to hand just now and as I'm not an Elisp programmer

    never got it polished up or in a distributable state.

    If the prospect of writing your own Elisp is even more horrific than

    using my hack then I can look it out and send it to you.

    Regards,

    Nick.

     No emacs mode for Joy, as far as I am aware. But since the

    notation is so similar to Lisp/Scheme, it should not be too

    difficult to modify an existing one. Although I do not use

    emacs myself, please let us know how if you write such a thing.
