Emacs Turns 50

MIT Technology Review marks the 50th anniversary of Emacs, the text editor first developed in the mid-1970s and central to hacker culture ever since. The milestone is prompting reflection on Emacs's longevity, its extensibility, and the passionate community that still maintains and extends it while rival editors come and go.

Why now: The editor's 50th anniversary is prompting nostalgic and appreciative discussion among programmers and open-source veterans.
