BingoBoingo:
<punkman> save-as doesn't work

BingoBoingo exactly has it : there is no room nor need for every bit of text to be "really code". i want my nano to be UNABLE to do anything whatsoever with the text. which is why i use nano rather than emacs.

<trinque> no one says your qntras have to be parsable, but it might be nice if the language you configure your editor/DE/OS with is.
<< And at what point should barin authored text end and machine authored text begin?
BingoBoingo:
<gabriel_laddel> punkman: you lose the full power of the programming language.
<< In nearly every case a 3rd part gives you code you don't want a full language. You want a plainly crippled language.
