Mark Dougherty (born May 6th, 1980) has crafted his brand of acoustic driven ambient folk music into a style that is all of his own. Says the North Carolinian based multi-instrumentalist: "It is always my goal to somehow reflect the journey we are all on in life through my music. Sometimes I think we forget to see the beauty in it all, but when we do, there is real joy. I try and reflect those feelings and that sense of joy in every song I write."

@John C Just use doom emacs or spacemacs (vim keybinds). It's basically just vim with more features. I got into emacs this way and it really eases you into the emacs ecosystem (no need to learn emacs keybinds right away).

Actually there are some papers published on this very topic, Running Emacs directly on kernel/system layer. Emacs is fully functional Lisp machine so it is not just possible but you can find some actual hobbyist, proof-of-concept, working os code on github/reddit. However for modern usage practicality, You can replace your WM or DE with emacs and can login directly into it if you want. There is a video on this channel on how to do that. This will give you best of both world.

People really seem to be on another plant. Emacs is considerably larger than any *nix (POSIX) system.

December Agents

Emacs reverses the usual concept of how you're supposed to use a Unix machine: You sit at a shell. You control things by editing config files, and then you run your programs from the shell. In emacs, you sit in an editor that edits your config files, and you use your editor to run programs, some of which run in your editor instead of the shell. It's the environment you go to after you throw up your hands and realize that all this time, you've been doing more work in text editors than you ever did at an actual Unix shell. Why not let the editor be the OS?

@Eisesser01 personally, even though emacs is harder to learn, it really is the choice that has the most growth in it. Emacs's buffer system is more consistent than the terminal's stream system. like a terminal is 1d, a buffer is 2d. and terminals have applications like vim that emulate 2d but when everything is 2d it is better. and having everything inside of an editor is really a very very nice thing. in emacs, everything is part of one lispy substance

@Humm and in Unix/Linux it has a version called Willy. And no, it is nothing like Emacs. It is another beast, but as expandable with some simple principles, based on scrips you can write in any language you want.

@DistroTube Nooo, come back!

Oh, and also, Plan 9 has the text editor acme(1), which is similar to emacs in that it is pretty much usable as an own window manager and can be used as “front end” for applications to use—there is an email client for acme. Acme also has a port to Unix-like systems as part of plan9port.

"eshell is an elisp repl" it's actually an integrated shell. Try using grep --recursive from it - the output goes to a new buffer which you can use to open each file at the matching line

ielm

William Leslie

36w

@fossegrim emacs and esoteric computing sure, but there are better ways to do that, such as the scratch buffer. On the other hand, the eshell has so many features that really have nothing to do with elisp, such as the slick tramp integration. So, you have all the features of a repl, but that does not appear to be its purpose.

fossegrim emacs and esoteric computing

36w

That is true, but it also supports evaluating elisp expressions. Really it is both at the same time.

Emacs is great. It's what I was taught to use during Uni days when studying Computer Science. It did everything we needed particularly when coding. Didn't need anything else! Honestly if you keep using it you will love it more an more and Vim will become your alternative text editor. Don't get me wrong Vi is great too but not at the same level as emacs. Yes emacs is a little more bloated than Vi but thats mainly due to all the added plugins etc. I've been using emacs since 1995... One thing I still use as an alternative to emails though is Pine. Still love pine for some reason so generally open that up instead.

I love vanilla Emacs and I think its at par with vim at editing too. The reason vim uses hjkl is not for productivity its because old keyboards have arrow keys bound to hjkl. Emacs use prefix commands because older keyboards have different place for ctrl. Both follows legacy keybindings. JKL; makes much more sense if you think having your fingers on home row is the only thing that matters.

Well. You can run Emacs in a terminal, as it used to be done in the beginning. But it also have support for X11, and graphics, which it uses if you are running in graphic mode. So it is both a text based and a graphical based editor (and elisp interpretator).
