A general-purpose editor/IDE written in Common Lisp, designed for high extensibility and real-time code execution.
What is discussion?
Lem is a general-purpose editor and integrated development environment (IDE) written in Common Lisp. It is designed with high extensibility in mind, allowing developers to modify and extend the editor while it is running. The core vision is to bring the distance between code and its execution state as close to zero as possible, enabling real-time feedback and visualization.
Common Lisp developers and programmers who value a highly customizable, self-modifying editor environment with live code execution capabilities. It's also suitable for those seeking an alternative to traditional editors like Emacs or Vim with a unique philosophy.
Developers choose Lem for its unique real-time execution model, immediate extensibility, and the ability to visually debug running code. Unlike many editors, extensions and customizations take effect instantly without restarting, and it offers multiple frontend options (terminal, web, graphical) from a single codebase.
