    Common Lisp editor/IDE with high expansibility

    Has anyone used this? I was just thinking the other day that it would be nice to have an emacs-like editor written in such a way that it made performance and parallelism easier, especially around multithreading.

    A real killer feature would be some kind of emacs-lisp compatibility layer so that you could load existing third-party emacs modules, but I imagine the complexity of that is so off the charts that it would be unrealistic.

    Has anyone successfully packaged it for NixOS? I see this aborted attempt here: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/250777 (linked from https://github.com/lem-project/lem/issues/890). If not, I guess I might just try patching the binaries rather than trying to build it from scratch, since I don't have any experience building common lisp projects in nix.
