As a once and sometimes avid Emacs user, I don’t want to relate to this as hard as I do.
FWIW: I tried to set this posts language to elisp but it wasn’t an option.
My two favorite Emacs jokes:
- What does EMACS stand for? Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping.
- Emacs is a great operating system; it only lacks a decent text editor.
Can you imagine a world where a program originally designed to manipulate documents was extended through a highly dynamic, kind of half-baked interpreted language to the point of underpinning almost every application you interact with on a daily basis and using an order of magnitude or so more resources than are actually necessary?
I don’t have to imagine that world, VSCode exists.
Let’s see the VIM one.
This dude’s channel is hilarious. Especially the Senior JS one.
I think this is his best one yet 😅
I was heavily into Emacs for the last few years, but now I’m back to Vim (Neovim this time)
I’ve also switched to Neovim. It was just easier to customize and I really didn’t need all the extra operating system features built into Emacs.
“People never quit emacs. They just die at some point”
“It’s all LISP-based. And it’s astonishingly slow.”
