EmacsConf 2025
- esafak 11mo agoI was thinking "Who's going to convince their company to let them do this?" and found the answer: "Sat-Sun".
- jasoneckert 11mo agoWeekend... well that's a vi-able alternative ;-)
- jdboyd 11mo agoBoo!
- nosefrog 11mo agoBig shoutout to Amin and Sacha for keeping this going!
- agumonkey 11mo agoseconded they made a great conference previously and wishes them the same this year
- floathub 11mo agoThe "watch" method is so awesome: mpv https://live0.emacsconf.org/gen.webm
- amitav1 11mo agoNever attended EmacsConf before but the talks are gold!
- positron26 11mo agoThe schedule grows small. I have stopped writing new Elisp and will learn CL in order to adopt Lem. A few years back, this schedule included smart voices attempting to exercise some cultural leadership. It was bright, well-meaning, and largely right. Being right does not stop RMS. It inspires him to travel in an alternative direction of his choosing for the rest of his life.
- squishington 11mo agoCould you expand on your comment a bit please? I've not heard of Lem before now. How does it compare to Emacs? Also your comment about cultural leadership. I'm not sure what you're referring to specifically. (Asking in good faith out of curiosity).
- yepguy 11mo agoLem is an Emacs-like editor built in Common Lisp. It's very impressive and usable for its age and I can see why some people see it as a better Emacs. Still has nowhere near the mindshare of Emacs, though, and it has a long way to go before it can match the Emacs ecosystem.
- tapete2 11mo agoAnd the UI runs on WebView.
- positron26 11mo agoIt doesn't. There is a terminal frontend, a web rendering frontend, and a deprecated SDL frontend. The web frontend was explicitly developed to speed up development, writing implementations for graphics described in CL (the part being accelerated) that can be later served by another frontend should some technical need emerge. Anyone acting like this is Electron is either leaping to conclusions or being intentionally misleading.
- tapete2 11mo agoElectron is not WebView my friend.
- german_dong 11mo agoGP is a longstanding pita in the emacs community who has yet to come to terms that FOSS is an financial black hole.
