We are speaking in a context set by vi/vim (remember, that was the jumping off point for promoting yi here).

If you cannot think of at least one language which is older and a better common denominator than Haskell (both at the binary level and at the interface presented to programmers)... I don't know what to say.

What actual reason do I have for switching from vim to yi? Just because it's written in Haskell and that obviously makes it better, or what?

[eridius]

I... have absolutely no idea what you're trying to say. It's not worth ever using a language if there's an older one around? Are you saying you don't want to switch editors unless the new one is written in FORTRAN?

[pka]

Yes, we should write our editors in assembler.
