wdired was a revelation on what an editor can do with capable and imaginative developers on it.

Emacs mostest problem : too many features unless you spend 5 years in it

I liked that roamer has a similar idea, the name/hash lines seems very straightforward. Also a bit of acme in it where text as a bit of meaning.

Maybe it will give wdired ideas too.

Yes, like 'M-x calc' which gives you a very decent RPN calculator.

oh calc is way more than that. it's a cute CAS. And a nice RPN calc. (which I think is simple-calc-mode actually)

Emacs also has bindat, a nice DSL to create bytes structures (for network packets or FFI)

And that's just the vanilla distribution.. Anyway lisp.
