Definitions for GOSMACS: Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001)
:
GOSMACS /goz'maks/ n. [contraction of `Gosling EMACS'] The first
EMACS-in-C implementation, predating but now largely eclipsed by
GNUMACS. Originally freeware; a commercial version was modestly
popular as `UniPress EMACS' during the 1980s. The author, James Gosling,
went on to invent NeWS and the programming language Java; the latter
earned him demigod status.
