Just saw this come across another blog I subscribe to. I apologize if you happen to subscribe to the same blog and already saw this, but I found it interesting.
For those of you that use linux/unix in your daily lives, or in past lives, the good folks over at hackaday.com have created a version of vi that is written in javascript and can run inside any browser that supports javascript.
Check it out here: http://www.hackaday.com/2008/07/04/javascript-vi/
I can’t say that I agree with the above blog posting that vi somehow disappeared and is no longer being used until now. It’s always been a mainstay on my Machines, and I use it almost every day. Not a big fan of eMacs…and never bothered to learn joe or pico. However, that doesn’t diminish the fact that this little hack is pretty neat.
Maybe I can get Bill and Dana to add this into this site somehow. Give our loyal readers the option of posting replies in the standard reply box, or choosing to enter their comments in an embedded vi session right in the browser.
Bill…Dana…any chance you want to implement this in your oh-so-plentiful free time?

Holycow! After reading this, I had to fire up Terminal on my Mac and see.
It brings back memories of college when I could go to the computer lab and work/play on the NeXT Machines.
