Jove is a compact, powerful, Emacs-style text-editor. It provides the common emacs keyboard bindings, together with a reasonable assortment of the most popular advanced features (e.g., interactive shell windows, compile-it, language specific modes) while weighing in with CPU, memory, and disk requirements comparable to vi.

Hooji et al., the BRL-CAD project has bundled a version of Jove that compiles cleanly on OS X for nearly a decade now. The OS X binary distributions up through 7.22 include it in their install. Cheers!

I find this app handy when Emacs is to heavy.

Re: OS X version of Jove?
Did you try to compile it on MacOS X?
However: it would be better if you try to contact the Authors directly.

OS X version of Jove?
Hello.
It would be nice to have a version of Jove that runs in a
terminal window on OS X. It should be an easy port
since OS X is unix.
Thank You.
