In two different pages at Sun, I saw the following in an introduction
to James Gosling:
He has also built a WYSIWYG text editor, a constraint-based drawing
editor and a text editor called "Emacs" for UNIX systems.
Was a shocking at first till I remembered that RMS had used code from
Gosling Emacs in the first versions of GNU Emacs. Gosling was
apparently the first person to write a complete usable Emacs for UNIX.
Puts him up there with Guy Steele and RMS as really prolific coders. :)
