JEmacs
The Java/Scheme-based Emacs
Per Bothner
Abstract
JEmacs is a re-implementation of the Emacs programmable text editor. It
is written in Java, and uses the Swing GUI toolkit. Emacs is based on
the extension language Emacs Lisp (Elisp), which is a dynamically-scoped
member of the Lisp family. JEmacs supports Elisp, as well as the use of
Scheme, a more modern statically-scoped Lisp dialect. Both languages get
compiled to Java bytecodes, either in advance or on-the-fly, using the
Kawa compilation framework.
