Maybe these days that should be updated to "(only) Eight Megs and Consistently Snappy"
- MonkeyClub 5y agoYep, GP seems stuck about two decades in the past. In my experience of daily use of Emacs for development, it's much more responsive and helps focus immensely, while CLion only tries to eat as much RAM as is available. Plus, the extensibility and multiple environments (think edit, shell, debug, SSH, man, etc) in a single viewport without constant context and visual switching help further with focus.
- pjmlp 5y agoElectron overtook that role from Emacs.
- bitwize 5y agoEmacs is many things, snappy is not one of them. For added fun, try opening a huge file, or one with extremely long lines, and watch Emacs chug. Now open the same file in VSCode and watch it handle the file just fine.
- actually_a_dog 5y agoYou know how "there's an app for that" used to be a thing? Well, there's an elisp package for that: https://github.com/m00natic/vlfi https://github.com/m00natic/vlfi
