Emacs Turns 50

The Emacs text editor, first developed in the mid-1970s, is marking its 50th anniversary. MIT Technology Review published a retrospective on the software's half-century of influence, and the milestone is drawing discussion among programmers reflecting on its longevity, extensibility, and role in computing culture.

Why now: The editor's 50th anniversary is prompting nostalgia and debate among developers about its legacy and continued relevance.
