I watched oppenheimer in emacs, u watched it in imax, we are not the same
eMacs takes a life time to learn, so the sooner you start, the longer it will take.
Late 30s dev here: I’ve never cared to learn emacs or vim, tried when younger, but left it. Am I a fraud?
I used to be a vim fan but now I only use it for modifying files over SSH. Other than that I code with an IDE, you can’t beat all the plugins and linters with a in-terminal editor. A colleague still codes in emacs and its code is dirty af.

PEBKAC - don’t blame emacs (not sure why anyone would use it when vim exists, though)
Emacs is the GOAT computing environment.
I couldn’t help but think of Emacs when I was reading A Constructive Look At TempleOS. It’s like TempleOS that is actually finished, it just lacks kernel.
just lacks kernel.
Sounds like a trademark of GNU tbh
Thanks for sharing. I have never seen that deep dive into templeOS before and it is a much more interesting OS than I anticipated.
Yeah it’s pretty amazing system all things considered. It’s kind of as if 8-bit home computer systems continued to evolve, but keep the same principles of being really closely tied to the HW and with very blurry line between kernel and user space. It radiates strong user ownership of the system. If you look at modern systems where you sometimes don’t even get superuser privileges (for better of worse) it’s quite a contrast.
Which is why it reminds me of Emacs so much. You can mess with most of the internals, there’s no major separation between “Emacs-space” and userspace. There are these jokes about Emacs being OS, but it really does remind me of those early days of home computing where you could tinker with low level stuff and there were no guardrails or locks stopping you.
I’m sure the port to TempleOS is being worked on as we speak
Surely Elon would prefer the old Lucid fork, https://www.xemacs.org/
There was another Twitler who tried to create an everything Reich.
What’s emac?
It’s an iMac with electronics in it.
Too bad Emacs doesn’t have a good text editor.
Upvote just for “melon husk” 😂
What even is emacs
An extremely extensible text editor, there’s jokes that it can do literally anything, you can play music, watch video, etc.
It’s often at war with the cult of vi and the church of emacs.
Don’t forget us nanoites. The clearly superior text editor
nanoers just never figured out how to :wq
Use
:xyou plebBut what if you wanted to write even if there weren’t changes?
Then you use
:wq
