++ [[https://www.johndcook.com/blog/2008/04/27/one-program-to-rule-them-all/][GNU Emacs]] - At the heart, Emacs is text editor on top of Lisp
+ runtime. Data storage and computation can be done in [[https://www.defmacro.org/ramblings/lisp.html][Lisp]]. Lisp is
+ on itself programmable programming language where new paradigms can
+ be added dynamically. Domain specific languages to fit particular
+ problem could be developed as needed and Emacs extended to support
+ those languages. Emacs provides text buffers that can be used to
+ build user interfaces. So you can customize Emacs and Lisp to fit
+ any problem domain.
