Howdy, Marcus:
YOU ROCK!! Way to go! This rebol.el is awesome!
I hacked on that original for a day or more trying to figure out
the nesting close braces problem with scant to show for it. I sort of
had something that was sort of working but mostly more broken than
when I started.. arg! Also, I notice you seem to have solved the
problem with the {} braced strings munging the whole parsing state.
Wow-- and semi colons do the right syntax coloring and everything!
Great job great job great job!! :-)
By the way, Your README file has a sentence that just drops off
about the original creator of the mode, Joe Marshal, told you
something or another?
Also, by the way, if you're interested, a while ago I asked one of
my professors who's a big emac'er for help on the rebol mode and he
told me he wasn't so good with elisp, but he gave me this referal:
"Olin Shivers <[shivers--lcs--mit--edu]>, who is world famous for his
ability to hack his deep experience with, knowledge of, and fondness
for, elisp."
I never ended up contacted the fellow-- My excuse being this crazy
whirlwind of stuff to deal with that keeps me constantly context
switching, but thought you might be interested...
I know Sterling will be just as happy too. Now Holger's a total VI
guy, so he'll just sneer at our delight... ha ha, but some things
can't be helped. ;)
Totally grateful!! (-:
