[$] Emacs for Android
The Emacs editor is not tied to the Linux kernel; indeed, it was createdsome years before Linux existed. The Emacs code base is intended to beportable, and the editor runs, with varying levels of support, on a widevariety of systems. Recently, an energetic developer has worked to extendthe set of supported systems to Android; the result is a working port, butwhether that port will be accepted into the Emacs mainline is the topic ofongoing conversation.
