TeXmacs for programming?!

If you do literate programming or work with a REPL, sure.

#23Was there not, at some point, a disagreement among the emacs developers about how this conference was being managed? As an aside, emacs has so much potential, I'm so glad the community continues to thrive. I use emacs exclusively for science data analysis and consistently impress my colleagues with how quickly things can be accomplished. If rough edges were polished in some of the python corners there could easily be…
I have been a happy R + ESS (Emacs Speaks Statistics) user for a while now. I think ESS also supports python, I have no personal experience with that though. But I can agree that whenever I am forced to use Jupyter notebooks, it feel awfully unergonomic in comparison.

Is it? First time I've ever heard of it, although looking at it I must say I am intrigued. What would you say are its main positive features?

#25The Kindle talk sounds interesting: https://emacsconf.org/2021/talks/dashboard/ I have a an older Kindle hanging around that I'd be happy to get some new life out of with a little hacking.

What would the incentive be for a current emacs user? It's hard to imagine giving up org-mode would ever be worthwhile personally.

Yeah. I liked it when I used it, but it's not actually an emacs replacement in a general sense. There's a much smaller community and set of extensions (plug-ins in their term, packages in emacs). It was pleasant to use as a notebook front-end with Maxima and Octave when I used them.

Maybe someone could write a WYSIWYG org-mode for TeXmacs.

It's currently an amazing way to write math/science documents in a truly WYSIWYG editor.
