[Cialug] A Language for Text Editing

[Todd Walton]

"Unix shell scripts can be used to manipulate texts. There are several
programmable editors, best known is Emacs. Perl
(www.phlab.missouri.edu/perl/perlcourse.html) is still more powerful
text manipulator, but it is also more difficult to program. The
ultimate text manipulators are programs written in Ada, C, C++ or
other programming languages."

That's kind of a funny notion...  It was written in 1999, but still.
