Random #elisp tip suggested by Noam Postavsky on #emacs: To obtain output from a command without shelling out and as a list of strings, try `process-lines` and pass it a program name and any number of arguments.

One thing I absolutely love about #Emacs is how easy it is to add random convenience features to it. I've just added two work-related ones in the span of 10 minutes. Each is a single line of elisp, and they both leverage a popup UI (via Hydra package) I added some year ago.

That's the nice thing. Small utilities accrue and become greater than the sum of their parts.

I used #lisp in #emacs to help solve this #puzzle - but only as a calculator!

Hey #Schemer-s ! What are your favorite extensions to edit #scheme code in #emacs ?

#guile #refactoring #cleancode

so, it looks like the better way to do #scheme #REPL-ing in #Emacs is not to use the Geiser buffer directly, but to open a file as a sort of scratchpad and write expressions in it and evaluate them with C-x C-e.interesting. kinda reminds me of how I do shell scripting in #Acme, except Acme doesn't understand syntax very well.

#TIL that the markdown mode of #emacs lets you collapse sections :blobowo:

@z428 I think #emacs and #vim are your best options. Both will require some configuration for more advanced features.

I have used both emacs and vim. I started out on vim, which I used to program java, bash, javascript, PHP and some perl. I used a wide variety of plugins and I was prettu happy with the functionality that I got out of them. There were a couple of things that I really wanted to add/customize though, so I started learning vimscript. (1/)

To #emacs #orgmode users: can you take a minute to fill this survey on whether to change the default settings for 10 options in Org 9.4?

@dredmorbius @craigmaloney @sir I'm advocating for info(1), because I'm now a long-term'ish #Emacs user, and have no problem reading info pages, often do it right in Emacs.Yet, I can't stand long man-pages, where there should be a proper ToC and hyperlinks, but aren't… *they* should die.I'm also pretty happy with the static (X)HTML, generated from the same #Texinfo sources.And e.g. coreutils have their man-pages generated with help2man from .texi's, no?

One of the #emacs packages I use is not packaged for #guix.

I already started the creation. First time, haha 🤪

It's I ♥ Free Software Day at the hackerspace, so I'm going through the most recent issues and PRs for nov.el. Looks like I can cut a new release with some long-awaited features for my most popular #emacs package soon.

#emacs #orgmode 9.3.6, a bugfix release, is out. Enjoy!

The next release will be 9.4, with new features. Coming soon.

I got #emacs installed on my #pinephone .

It seems there's a lot of interest in continuing work on Guile Emacs, since it keeps coming up on Reddit and Hacker News and everyone is lamenting the fact that there are too few Scheme hackers and they don't seem to be interested in the project. (Someone even offered to fund it.)

Right now I'm seriously considering starting a revival project. Is anyone here interested in such a venture?
