The Emacs of the future

Maybe Steve Yegge was right after all when he wrote last April:

Developers are starting to wake up and realize that the best "mainstream" extensible platform (which excludes Emacs, on account of the Lisp) is Firefox or any other non-dead browser (which excludes IE). [...] And now the browsers are starting to sprout desktop-quality apps and productivity tools. It won't be long, I think, before the best Java development environment on the planet is written in JavaScript.

And the Bespin prototype is proof that the future is maybe arriving earlier than many of us expected.
