Here is a project Slime/Emacs people might find interesting. A self
annotating program editor that corrects your mistakes and actually
types ahead of the programmer. The technology is based on *real-time
type checking* and is based on Qi technology. The original suggestion
is on qilang.

My Office editor program does that all the time, and it is a real
PITA.

Indeed. :) Many years ago we had a grad working on an intelligent OS
that tried to anticipate your commands. A recipe for 'rm -rf *'
disasters we reckoned.

What I envisaged was something rather gentler and programmable for
different languages (not just Qi) but using Qi as the metalanguage to
drive the checking.
