I found this while browsing the Emacs Website source code: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/casting-spels-emacs/ ("Casting Spels (sic) in Emacs"), which goes into the relation of Emacs and Lisp. It is written and illustrated by Conrad Barski, who also wrote "Land of Lisp" with that alien mascot.
Not sure what to think of this, but at the very least it is a neat historical document.

That was my main concern as well <sup>,</sup> but I'll have to see how it holds up. I have been bitten by old output when compiling code and the old error message pops up even after I fixed the bug, and manually switching to the shell buffer to clean it up was a constant but non-trivial overhead.

I think it is worth considering seriously.
And there is no hurry, so take your time.

Do you want to submit this as a patch?

I managed to come up with an elegant quasi-solution for this problem, by adding a "clear" command that just empties the buffer:

That does look very cool! So when you edited free, you used M-| or did you rebind RET in the output buffer?

I would certainly be interested to see how that looks like.
Do you have any idea how to fix the issue, where I might run a command that has no output, but because *Shell Output Buffer* is non-empty, the echo-area still pops up? I feel like I just want the output of a single command to pop up in the echo area, while everything is still aggregated in *Shell Output Buffer*...

I'm having an interesting time with shell-command-dont-erase-buffer. The fact that the output of a new M-! doesn't overwrite the last one, replaces part of what M-x shell does for me, but it is also something I have to get used to.

I have been interested in taking a look and playing with hare. Is there already a real hare-mode, or are you suggesting someone writes it?
