A dear friend of mine [Felix][0] has written an [acme][1] clone in
TCL/TK called [ma][2].  I have long postponed to try this. I have
been using acme in its inferno incarnation [acme-sac][3] for 5 years
straigt at work and I loved it. I somehow came back using emacs and
it stayed that way. But using the keyboard to navigate through
source code or to cut and paste pieces of text has always annoyed
me and wished for acme like chording.

So the time has come and I will try out ma. Why not the real acme
you might ask? The window micromanagement necessary by the original
acme was always a wart of it I did not like. I loved [sam's][4]
simplicity, but could not get used to using its editing langugage
so far.

So the time has come for ma, let's see how this will work out.

Mi tawa.
