I’ve been using emacs for work for years because the proprietary language I have to work in was set up with emacs as the default editor. I bitched and moaned when I first started because I was used to more modern solutions.

When they finally got VS Code support working…I stayed with emacs. Stockholm Syndrome, I suspect. But I know what I’m doing in emacs. I’m comfortable.

    A wild guess.. Magik/Smallworld? That was it for me.

    Nah, it’s called CM which I believe stands for Configura Magic. It’s a C-based language sort of similar to C#, but specifically made for use with Configura’s space-planning software.

    I actually like the language, I just hate that it’s extremely niche.

    Edit: the similarity between the names Magik and Configura Magic is not lost on me, but I don’t think they’re related.

    Hmm seems coincidence yes. Though Magik is also very niche.. I think it was more Pascal inspired and later ported to jvm. I guess the name and Emacs were just a sign of the times.
