A follow-up project for the Gardeners might be to write lisp modes for
any popular editors that don't already have one. SciTE comes to mind,
and a quick look on their website doesn't show up any Lisp add-on.
(http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/SciTEExtras.html)
Actually, SciTE might be a good candidate for an emacs alternative to
bundle in a more newbie-friendly IntroLispBox, if such a thing were
desired. It's obviously not a full IDE, but it's also magnitudes easier
for the average WinProgrammer to jump into, and maybe a
'Compile-and-Run' button could be added? (Not sure how extendable SciTE
is in that regard.)
Cross-posted (emailed, whatever) from cl-faq, which is where the 'list
of editors' idea is based.
