Emacs in the Age of Magic

There is, in terminal usage and programming lingo, "raw terminal mode" and "cooked mode" ; not seeing the original discussion linked, I do wonder if "cooked" was used in both meanings of the word and not just 1.

It's clearly in that sense that it's called "cooked". Which other meaning do you think applies?

The README of project itself explains; "cooked" allocates the ttyp and interprets dynamicall whether the side is a command-line or full-screen program. See: https://github.com/vodik/cooked

Given that we're talking about terminal emulation, I'd be more surprised if "cooked" wasn't a reference to cooked mode

The cooked package probably arose from this comment - https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/1w2ibbx/what_kind_of...
