I ported GNU Emacs to the Celerity product line mostly because most of the programmers there wanted it over vi. Not me, I’m a vi guy.

I remember that GNU Emacs launched the first time and then dumped itself out as a core file. Each subsequent launch would then ‘undump’ itself back into memory. All this because launching emacs the first time required compiling all that lisp code.
