I’ve been learning transient basics to improve velocity at work. A bit hard to swallow at first but very nice. Thanks

let’s revamp emacs early manual
I should have embedded the date, it was more for historical value :)
lisp is a nicer material to build stuff on
lots of features, more options, good performance
there’s also a good culture, i work with people used to php and the abstraction level and cleanliness is abysmal
I often thought that emacs should have a live repl game tutorial
like clojure koans but as an exploration of basic emacs abilities, then regular editing abilities, then fancier, then edebug and defmacro
well vim has always started with minimal core
but when subtext popped, there were some stuff, I forgot what, but a few ergonomics ideas (like projectile, multiple-cursors, maybe nicer fuzzy search) that weren’t present in emacs. took a few months for someone to make it happen … and that was it.
emacs can absorb most ideas, unless it’s something that would break the whole architecture
99% of can emacs do are to be answered by a firm yes, and an additional “it’s built-in since 198*”
ah good old magnars mc
from vacation to real vacation
I never took care of setting this aspect of emacs properly. Thanks a ton
patience
people who used emacs for 20 years still learn some stuff :)
join irc, or mastodon or any place to chat with people, it helps getting some things faster
watch emacsrocks, videos from a few years ago but excellent ratio between short demo and long term insight :)
