# How to build an Emacs
Fermin MF



[[!inline pages="internal(2021/info/build-schedule)" raw="yes"]]

This is a deep dive in the Emacs philosophical and technical
aspect on what makes our beloved GNU Emacs
what it it. It's also a talk about the early LISP machines and
fascinating were those days of experimentation and engineering.

It will continue with the Emacs benefits/trade-offs from an
user/developer stand points, what things can be improved and
what can be an hypothetical path on how to build a software that
can also be called Emacs.

As a last part, I'll talk about CEDAR, an Emacs that I've been
developing in Common Lisp, the project goals
and the challenges.

For more details about CEDAR: <https://gitlab.com/sasanidas/cedar>

-   40 minutes:
    A dive into the Emacs/Lisp machines history, what makes GNU Emacs
    an Emacs and how you can build an Emacs.
