I wonder does Fabrice hang-out on HN, Reddit or some chat channels?

I very much like to know his views on topics like Rust, RISC-V, Blockchain etc... I'm curious about his workflow, dev. machine, preferred distros, editors and the like :D

An AMA or a technical interview done by someone knowledgeable in the field would be awesome!

He has his own emacs clone named QEmacs[1] which I think he uses personally. He uses Subversion as his version control system (at least in developing QuickJS) according to this post[2] by him in quickjs-devel mailing list.

Thanks! Good to know! I knew about his Emacs clone...I think Linus Torvalds uses something similar.

Linus has his own port of the venerable MicroEmacs[1]. As does Walter Bright[2], by the way.

qemacs is actually quite advanced, and even includes a basic HTML renderer (for the help). I was half joking that with quickjs, one now can make a reasonably modern web browser out of bellard-ware…
