"I code in Emacs. Emacs has good support for version control tool interaction in the vc-mode package. I want to use git and have vc-mode work with git.

"I've written a new JavaScript editing mode for GNU Emacs, and released it on code.google.com. This is part of a larger project, in progress, to permit writing Emacs extensions in JavaScript instead of Emacs-Lisp. Lest ye judge: hey, some people swing that way. The larger project is well underway, but probably won't be out until late summer or early fall.
