   - greta: Thanks for that link!
 - if I may ask, what's the little toy figure in the background, looks nice :D
   - A wooden (fake) Transformer :)
+- do you think emacs could have implemented with this design pattern, but in another programming language?

 - That's a great point about the sketches, and why Emacs graphical improvements are important.
 - yes this talk is excellent. i'm very happy to find some of my thoughts echoed here in such a clear and well researched way
 - this is exactly my experience. using/learning emacs is THE way that i gained the skills, the learning to learn skills i needed to become a professional programmer (which is incidental to the growing up into a hacker :P)

 - This is saying out loud in concrete language everything I've felt about emacs and the community since e.g. the package system became available and social git forges made it easy to explore others' configs 
 - What a wonderfully diverse set of viewpoints so far.  Not just viewpoints but concepts I would never have expected in an ‘Emacs conf’.  I'm glad I dropped by.  Thank you greta.
 - This quote of Richard Gabriel rings a bell in the emacs context: "If it is small, it was written by an extraordinary person, someone I would like as a friend; if it is large, it was not designed by one person, but over time in a slow, careful, incremental way" (Gabriel, R. (1996). Patterns of software: tales from the software community. New York: Oxford University Press. (https://dreamsongs.com/Files/PatternsOfSoftware.pdf)
+- I just finished listening to Greta Goetz's talk and I love it so much.
+- I listened to it after listening to acdw's talk on the frownies mode, a little mode to do something very simple, how he met people, wrote that mode, published it, got feedback. Your talk felt like an excellent background on the experience. The part about helping each other also really resonated with me. I would like to search for how many messages I must have posted to comp.emacs and gnu.emacs.help back in the days. I feel like it must have been about 2000 of them. :) Much of that long before I started writing any code.
