    On the landing of double-buffering: "GNU #Emacs is an old-school C program #emulating a 1980s #Symbolics Lisp Machine emulating an old-fashioned Motif-style Xt toolkit emulating a 1970s text terminal emulating a 1960s teletype. Compiling Emacs is a challenge. Adding modern rendering features to the redisplay engine is a miracle."
