XIOMACS: a stumpwm/emacs oriented desktop hyper environment (dto.github.com)

This looks interesting, although honestly I have never needed integration between the WM and Emacs. (The WM gets s-, emacs gets C- and M-.)

I do have one rant:

WORKING: Custom CLOS GUI widget toolkit with minimalistic (but themeable) appearance.

Just what CL needs -- another half-completed library that duplicates 15 other libraries. This is why I finally gave up on CL, to write even the simplest program involves ages of unproductive yak shaving.

Edit: I have one more rant:

The "M-" things above are supposed to be <key>-<star>, but it seems impossible to have a literal * in HN comments. (Unless of course it's far away from other <star> characters, like the one above. Sigh!)


I am the author of the Xiomacs page. The project is indeed abandoned, however I never really throw away code, and some of the ideas have turned up in another project. I will keep you posted.


Looks like it hasn't been updated for about a year. Personally, I use stumpwm + conkeror + emacs + screen + emacs.wanderlust(for gmail imap).
