- gnarbarian 8y agoI'd love to see an atom package for this.
- tosh 8y agoLove it. Reminds me of pixel fireplace https://hammertail.itch.io/pixel-fireplace https://hammertail.itch.io/pixel-fireplace

- jancsika 8y agoShould add a surreptitious cryptocurrency miner to keep your cpu/gpu warm and cozy.
- dan-robertson 8y agoI think emacs already does that fine
- wbl 8y agoAnd it doesn't even use electron. It was just ahead of time.
- mhd 8y agoNot without better concurrency support.
- nickysielicki 8y agoYour comment suggests that you are aware of this, but for those that don't know, elisp did gain something resembling concurrency support in 26.1: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Threads.html https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Th...
- xvilka 8y agoToo bad porting[1] Emacs to Guile wasn't finished (even seems abandoned), could have improved speed and multithreading (and even better extensibility too). [1] https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GuileEmacs https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GuileEmacs
- n-gate 8y agoI know about ram and don't have a computer handy but processor too?
- hollerith 8y agohave you actually used emacs on a cpu made in the last 20 years and found it to be slow? compared to vim or bash, it is cpu intensive. compared to any of the graphical apps that come with a mac, it is easier on the cpu (and on RAM).
- dan-robertson 8y agoI use emacs basically all day and so my comment was partially in jest. I find the following things to be slow: 1. Large files 2. Anything synchronous and blocking that takes a little too long can be frustratingly slow. This often isn’t entirely the fault of emacs (e.g. if it is slow because an external program is slow) but async isn’t done for everything so sometimes things block and you can’t do anything while they are working. This is particularly annoying if the external program provides eg auto-completion 3. Running a macro a large number of times 4. Building the completion list when finding files (I think this is a combination of an issue with the extension for finding files and how it reads a directory and just reading a very large directory over nfs) 5. Sometimes it becomes slow enough that the visual lag between key press and character-on-screen is annoyingly large

- shortlived 8y agoThis is really cool! Is there a vim version?
- willismichael 8y agoFor better or worse, Vim Fireplace is a clojure development extension: https://github.com/tpope/vim-fireplace https://github.com/tpope/vim-fireplace When I saw the title of the post, I was wondering for a bit if this was a port to emacs.
- _emacsomancer_ 8y agoAnd some snow to go with it: https://with-emacs.com/posts/white-christmas-in-emacs/ https://with-emacs.com/posts/white-christmas-in-emacs/
- andyidsinga 8y agoand once again emacs proves its superiority to ...achem vi sucks achem. ;)
- iamrobschiavone 8y agoThis holy war between emacs and vi(m) is toxic and HN is no such place for this.
- escapecharacter 8y agoCan I throw some floo powder in their to access TRAMP?
- agumonkey 8y agoReminds me that my first program ever was probably typing the fire effect assembly demo..
- amasad 8y agoIf you're feeling lazy to install this but still want to experience this then you can try it in your browser: https://fireplace.basicer.repl.run/ https://fireplace.basicer.repl.run/ (This uses repl.run, which is Repl.it's new terminal app hosting service.

- quickthrower2 8y agoC-x M-c M-buuurrrrnnnn
- n-gate 8y agoCan I get a quick vim vs emacs usage vote here? Not looking for a war. Just a usage vote. I will try and update results. Feel free to reply with your daily hours too Results below- small sample but makes me wonder about stack overflow survey about vim being thrice as used as emacs. I am a very loyal vim user but I would wager that those results were influenced by the occasional vim user. What are others thoughts on this? 2:52 UTC 9-7 vim-emacs
- em-bee 8y agovim (that brings the tally up to 15 for emacs, and 10 for vim)

- _emacsomancer_ 8y agoNano just exists to fool my fingers with its quarter implementation of Emacs bindings, and I end up deleting half of the file's contents.
- YeGoblynQueenne 8y ago>> I end up deleting half of the file's contents. Are you sure you're not using vim?
- _emacsomancer_ 8y agoNah, vim's modal. True, one of those modes is 'break everything', but the other mode is 'beeping furiously', so I generally notice I'm not in emacs pretty quickly.
- ai_ia 8y agoI love it, feels warm.
- sepent 8y agoCan I add this as a zone program in zone-mode?
