Huh, I wonder why they made their own IDE instead of integrating with Sly/SLIME. Not trying to knock the project, just genuinely curious. Writing a whole editor sounds like a lot of work.

I like the choice of Iosevka as a font, though.

Edit: One value I do see myself getting from Mine is as an example Coalton project. Last time I tried Coalton I couldn't figure out how to get ASDF to load standalone Coalton files. Now I have a working example to copy.

There is an explanation in the blog: https://coalton-lang.github.io/20260424-mine/

> However, the above is a tall order for someone just wanting to dip their toes in, to see if they have any interest in Coalton or Common Lisp. A couple hours on the weekend is easily sunk into getting configurations right, and the right subsystems installed, and the right paths setup, just so the first line of code can be executed.

> mine is not Emacs. It aims to eliminate all of that, and be a Coalton/Lisp-first development environment, whose only job is to be a Coalton/Lisp-first development environment. But more than that, it needs to be accessible. A non-programmer should find it easy to download, install, and run mine with nothing more than a download link.

Iosevka is the king of scalable terminal/programming fonts. I'm not sure why, maybe it's because the glyphs have lines and angles that look "terminal-y" in the same pleasing way Terminus and the 3270 font do whilst avoiding the problems that accompany trying to scale a pixel font.
