I'd rather experience 60s and 80s language (Lisp, ML/Haskell) than something like C or Java, even if I have to put up with a text editor.

I'd really much rather get both, I want AST editors in the spirit of paredit.

My point was about Interlisp, Smalltalk, Cedar and their respective environments.

A plain text editor cannot reproduce the live code experience from such environments.
