I'm watching it with attention but some stuff is concerning:

* Some binaries in the source tree like https://github.com/lem-project/lem/tree/main/extensions/term...

* Commit messages aren't really descriptive.

* PRs and issues lingering in the void.

* Working around the strange inferior process thing (cf https://github.com/lem-project/lem/issues/1076) that could be replaced by uiop:launch-program when a tty/pty isn't needed; still no LSP in c-mode, and forget C++, obviously.

Well, let's be honest, it's very interesting but still a one-man effort, as far as the core editor goes, so these are pretty normal.

Also, weird passive aggressiveness in the issue tracker without actually fixing the issue: https://github.com/lem-project/lem/issues/1359
He is japanese and I met him in the european lisp symposium. He doesn't speak english at all and he mostly uses automatic translation, any english weird thing or strange sentence can be probably attributed to that. He was very nice
Thank you for this kind of note... helps bring the humanity back to the faceless internet.
I see, that explains it. Apologies for jumping to conclusions.
Hahaha I've seen some pretty nutty maintainers so can't blame you! That being said I can vouch for the guy, he's extremely nice and responsive.
Re: terrible maintainers, I'm reminded of "Fox" who maintains (maintained?) TTRSS (Tiny Tiny RSS) dude is atrocious. Makes Linus and jwz and Theo De Raadt look like saints.
