Other script editors?

I'm just wondering which editors you know that are "scriptable." For example, take Emacs, you can really say that you can do everything from within the editor: write, read, program. All with the "scripting language" Emacs-Lisp. What other editors do you know as a script?

Do you know, say, an editor written in scripts in Perl, Ruby, or in any other C-like language?

Yi is the Haskell equivalent for Emacs. It is specially designed just like Emacs: everything is available for scripts in Haskell, the editor itself is more or less a simple Haskell script, and there is only a very small, very general, non-scripting kernel. However, unlike most Emacs implementations that use the language for the kernel, not scripts, the Yi kernel is also implemented in Haskell.

Redcar is a text editor written by (mostly) Ruby, which is fully scriptable in Ruby. It is not as flexible as Emacs, but more at the TextMate level.

UltraEdit and UEStudio have the function of recording many of their commands during the manual execution of a macro and restarting this macro later. The macro can also be edited to add a loop or simple conditions.

And UltraEdit / UEStudio also supports scripts. These scripts are analyzed using the core JavaScript kernel. Therefore, all those supported by the JavaScript core, such as variables, arrays, string manipulations, integer or float calculations, nested loops, etc., can also be used in these scripts, as well as many commands of UltraEdit / UEStudio itself.

UltraEdit is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac and as a portable application for Windows.
