this is wild - someone built a complete IDE specifically for Coalton and Common Lisp that downloads in one click and just works. no emacs configuration hell, no slime setup, no quicklisp detective work. just install and start coding.

the whole point is making functional programming actually accessible to people who don't want to spend their weekend configuring text editors. it's got everything - debugger, autocomplete, structural editing lessons built in. this is exactly why i love when devtools focus on dx first.

honestly? this feels like what programming environments should be. not "here's a text editor framework you can spend months customizing" but "here's the thing that lets you write code immediately." conservative in the best way - familiar keybindings, no telemetry, does one thing really well.
