Y'all this is some COOL-ASS-SHIT! Wanted to get into @spritely tech but you didn't use emacs or didn't run Guix or all those other things? What if there was a structural editor right in the browser that was *designed* for hacking on @spritely tech?
Well that's EXACTLY what @dthompson is working on! I gave it a test today and built this cool picture language demo, printing out a rainbow right at the REPL!
It's a structural editor! So you're not even editing text, you're editing the structure of the code itself! It's damn cool!

@cwebber why do you need emacs to work on spritely tech?

@b0rk @cwebber you don't *need* Emacs but we use Scheme and Emacs is still the best editor for Lisp by a wide margin.
