John Wiegley is the author of (completely awesome in my opinion) use-package for emacs https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package https://github.com/jwiegley/use-p

  I had no idea that was a thing. My init.el thanks you heartily for linking to it!

    I love use-package, its made my emacs configuration so much less spaghetti thrown at a wall. https://github.com/mitchty/dotfiles/blob/master/emacs/.emacs.d/emacs.org#python-mode https://github.com/mitchty/dotfiles/blob/master/emacs/.emacs... You can get fairly tricksy with it.

      use-package is wonderful, as is bind-key (also by John, and a dependency of use-package). Together they reduce the "psychic weight" of trying, using, and configuring packages. They make your init.el a portable artifact of reproducible research. :)

        My init.el is really portable. It loads org mode and then loads my org ified configuration. >.< I'm a huge fan of that style cause I can test out changes with c-c c-c and then document to my future self anything of the why. It is about the only time I use literate programming.

  He wrote ledger, which is also really cool. http://www.ledger-cli.org/ http://www.ledger-cli.org/

    He's also very friendly and helpful on the ledger forum. Looks like an excellent choice for Emacs.
