Re: Mine, an IDE for Coalton and Common Lisp
#2Interesting! Looks like the IDE itself is written in Coalton (https://github.com/coalton-lang/coalton/tree/main/mine) and you can either bring your own terminal or use the standalone version which uses Tauri and Xterm.js.

#3Huh, I wonder why they made their own IDE instead of integrating with Sly/SLIME. Not trying to knock the project, just genuinely curious. Writing a whole editor sounds like a lot of work.
I like the choice of Iosevka as a font, though.
Edit: One value I do see myself getting from Mine is as an example Coalton project. Last time I tried Coalton I couldn't figure out how to get ASDF to load standalone Coalton files. Now I have a working example to copy.

#4If you're a power user, the sooner you learn Emacs the better as the synergies with any Lisp language (particularly Common Lisp) are simply too strong to be ignored and there is no contemporary alternative that rivals it.
For new users, this looks like a welcome alternative to messy things like Lem that never really worked very well for me.

There is an explanation in the blog: https://coalton-lang.github.io/20260424-mine/
> However, the above is a tall order for someone just wanting to dip their toes in, to see if they have any interest in Coalton or Common Lisp. A couple hours on the weekend is easily sunk into getting configurations right, and the right subsystems installed, and the right paths setup, just so the first line of code can be executed.
> mine is not Emacs. It aims to eliminate all of that, and be a Coalton/Lisp-first development environment, whose only job is to be a Coalton/Lisp-first development environment. But more than that, it needs to be accessible. A non-programmer should find it easy to download, install, and run mine with nothing more than a download link.

Same. It's an awkward time to develop a new IDE.

It’s not awkward at all. It’s a fun project and neat. I support these types of projects. I guess I’m being voted down because people hate IDEs and text editors now.
I think it’s wrong to trash this project just because it’s an older concept.

#9I live in Emacs, but I will give Mine a try when get a free hour. I read about Coalton in X and follow the author but I haven't invested time yet to try out.

Lem doesn't claim to be a Lisp development environment or IDE. It describes itself as
General-purpose editor/IDE with high expansibility in Common Lisp
