Shane Celis has announced that Emacsy was accepted as a Google Summer of Code project. Celis describes Emacsy as an embeddable Emacs-like library for non-text applications: Emacs OS without the text editor. The idea is to bring the Emacs way of doing things to other applications. Emacsy will be built on top of Guile Scheme, which is already embeddable in C and C++ applications.
Celis’s post gives a hint of what he’s aiming at but for the real details you should see his Google SoC application. It seems like an interesting project and I’m looking forward to seeing the results. Take a look and see if you don’t agree.
