When do you work in emacs vs lem?

• worthless-trash 3y ago
  So, I've looked at lem. Lem seems to be a really great start and push in the right direction. I work in LEM for my personal projects, that dont have other LSP integration needs and hooks into my org-mode/org-babel workflow. These should not be show stoppers, but will eventually be a non issue. There are however some features that I'm missing in LEM before I can fully switch over. 1. The documentation for Lem is lacking. 2. I have lazy hands and hit shift on some keys when I shouldn't (shift and backspace for example). I'd need some way to ignore that. 3. An built in undo, (c-x u equivalent). 4. A documented library interface (this is kinda #1 again) I will eventually get around to making my own plugins to solve most of these. Its a matter of time vs tradeoff.

    I think lem looks really promising, buuuut .., I like org and tramp and slime-connect and structural editing and all the other great emacs things. Maybe I’ll try it out in the next few months or so . . .

      Its slime is only local for now. Nrepl is something that I might work on this year.

        For anyone following along there is a method to get this to work. Download micros, put it in your local-projects git clone https://github.com/lem-project/micros https://github.com/lem-project/micros Load it.and run. (micros:create-server :port 50000 :dont-close t) Then use m-x slime-connect in lem. It is not slime, but it works.
