Gene said "I believe he meant "infamous" in respect to the size of it's source code - which is in fact, quite large." True, EMACS is pretty large, but I think the reaction to its size comes from thinking of it as an editor. FOr an editor, it is rather large, but of course EMACS is more than an editor (if you think of Windows as an operating system, then EMACS is one too, and I suspect that EMACS is rather smaller than Windows, of course it does not do quite all that windows does :-) although in some respects it does more). But I still do not see what this has to do with the question of language (or for that matter with the subect of this post, what an entertaining example of how subject lines live on!)
