A biography for Bill Joyhasn’t been written yet.
“I think one of the interesting things is that vi is really a mode-based editor.”
“I think the hard thing about all these tools is that it takes a fair amount of effort to become proficient.”
“But with Interleaf I don't even have a spell program.”
“I had almost rewritten all of the display code for windows, and that was when I gave up.”
“I just don't like to lose what's in the window.”
“I think multiple levels of undo would be wonderful, too.”
“I started to write a new editor not too long ago and had it about half done after two days.”
“Interleaf is based on the formatting process.”
