Can someone explain the last panel in the comic? Where emacs gets a spiral?
- ancarda 13y agoIt looks like Debian's logo: https://www.debian.org/ https://www.debian.org/ -- but I'm not sure if it's trying to imply emacs is impossible to learn or something.
- ambiate 13y agoEmacs uses lisp and loads of recursive functions. I imagine the spiral has something to do with recursion.
- mkhattab 13y agoI imagine the spiral symbolizes the point past which a person becomes proficient enough to write Elisp easily. The person then realizes the infinite malleability of Emacs and begins customizing it endlessly.
