Today at work I had a file similar to the one on the right window (but much much larger). I had to put a sequential ID at the beginning. Just a few lines of #EmacsLisp, C-x C-e and got the 11MB done!

@llewelly @sachac The loop macro is a purely #CommonLisp thing which got ported to #EmacsLisp by means of its cl library. As such, loop is a (now obsolete) alias for cl-loop. In Emacs Lisp, it’s better to write cl-loop.

#GoogleBard was #somewhatHelpful. #TIL #EmacsLisp function file-truename. The #chatbot is mistaken about expand-filename, too (doesn't follow symlinks), but that's enough of me training this bot for one day. I know #AlphabetInc will continue to improve the bot. See #screenshot for my experience. #a21e (#numeronym for #artificialIntelligence) #emacs

I have quite a lot more followers than I did when I first wrote my introduction, so it’s only fair that I’m writing a new one, bump up the major version.

Hi! o/

I am Ștefan (ș as sh, I also accept Stephan or the equivalent in your language). I’m 21 years old, ♑, he/him, proud #leftist and soon to graduate CS @ UVABc. Sort of proudly living in #romania. My native language is Romanian, fairly proficient at English, slowly learning #finnish (and #italian).

Tried a lot of programming languages in my childhood up until now, a non-chronological list of ones that stuck with me for one reason or another being: VB6 (that’s what I started on at 8 years old), #pascal (+ #freepascal and #delphi), #perl (+ #raku), #tcl #tcltk, #lisp (usually #scheme, on a good day #elisp #emacslisp and #commonlisp), #elixir, #php, #forth, #lua, #oberon, #modula-2, #cpp #c++, #ocaml, #fsharp, #smalltalk (+ #squeak #pharo #self), #ada, #powershell, #dart, #matlab, #rlang, #zig, #nim, #cobol and #julia. I don’t claim full proficiency in all of these, but I’m familiar enough with these (+ some others not mentioned here) that I could get along just fine with 2 weeks at most of studying and looking through cookbooks and examples). I’m flexible in learning new languages and technologies if needed.

I also do #sudoku and #math for fun (especially functional equations and number theory problems, sometimes calculus and geometric algebra). I am interested in #linguists, #conlangs (#lojban and #esperanto) and #nlp, contemporary (post-‘45, usually post-‘89 for me) history, #balkan history, lower-level stuff (I like to learn about how tools around me work, I’m most interested in #compilers, #emulators and #microcontrollers), #typography and #latex, #linux + #bsd, #msdos, #amiga, #oberon, #plan9, #philosophy, #astronomy (especially in a worldbuilding context) and #philosophy, along with other less notable interests.

I engage in #politics relatively often irl, although I’m not inserting it in absolutely every scenario in my life. As I mentioned, I’m a #leftist and #progressive (or… um… #woke) (Nazis and fascists can have a merry fuck off, DNI with me). I am also a spiritual person, a #deist (if you really want to put it that way, an agnostic, although it’s not quite true) and I find #astrology and #tarot interesting (I’ll let you guess my moon and ascendant, let’s see how close you are).

With that being said, I hope I’m welcome here, you can pick your subset of things that interest you from this list, you have plenty of options. :P Quite a bit longer than last time, but oh well…

So... installed org-jira for #emacs, was able to view and add comments, yay! But can't actually update the ticket because it has a name for reporter, but to update it requires a numeric id, apparently due to EU privacy regs. Maybe it's time to start learning #emacslisp... Or I could open a bug report...

Small yet neat thing to convert #Hartree energy units into #ElectronVolt in my #emacs #calc workflow for #MaterialsScience users.

what's some good emacs lisp out there to read to get modern emacs lisp style?

#emacs #emacsLisp #lisp

@AdamBishop If I compare it to the standard "out of the box" text editor that we have on macOS, it works extremely well with #XML files (finds errors, etc.) I use it all the time to check weird #TMX data for ex.

It's also not too bad at editing/authoring such XML files and so I used it to rewrite the #DocBook sources of OmegaT's manual for ex., for that, it comes with tag completion, syntax coloring, etc.

So, that's something I really could not do with that standard macOS text editor.

If I compare it with the defacto pro-editor on macOS (#BBEdit), it comes with less fun regex but everything I mentioned above stands.

But then, it comes with a really nice writing environment called "org-mode" (modes are basically #emacslisp applications within Emacs and do all sort of things that a bare bones text editor can't do). I use org-mode all the time to write. org-mode comes with something that "captures" notes so that you can just write down stuff that come to your mind and store that in a side "location" without losing your focus, and then you can reorganize all your stuff when you have time.

If you come from VI, you have a VI typing mode with all the VI shortcuts, if you come from Windows, you have something like that too.

Think of it as a lisp virtual machine that comes with an editor and a thousand applications that deal with textual data (but not only).

@ross
Wow! (Here is the package on MELPA https://melpa.org/#/cats )

I am glad someone else went through the trouble to do this. I have been thinking about developing my own Haskell-like category theory constructs library for Emacs Lisp. Monads are so incredibly useful for automating text parsing and text generation, and so are a perfect fit for Emacs. But I have so many other things to work on.

Thanks, to Matus Goljer for creating this library

Also, thanks to @sachac for including this package in her newsletter!

I shall one day bother to learn #Ada properly. For now, reading #EmacsLisp for a package I want to use...

@elb @hotkey @cwebber It is a bit unfortunate that #EmacsLisp doesn't have #BigNum support baked-in like #CommonLisp (and #Scheme, although I'm not sure if it's mandatory unlike CL).

edit: Nevermind, I'm completely wrong, most-positive-fixnum should've told me that much.

Elisp /does/ have bignums.

@ericsfraga @dekkzz76 @screwtape It appears that yes.

Keywords is part of gnus-extra-headers

The score file (https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/gnus/Score-File-Format.html) also supports arbitrary Elisp functions so... even if it didn't in the right way, that can be arranged.

@Rasp Yeah that'd be fairly easy to setup in #EmacsLisp (if someone else hasn't done it already).

Just a text-properties change on short ranges.

Do you happen to use #Emacs?

@galdor Thanks for sharing that! I will definitely try it out soon! Does it have any compatibility with #EmacsLisp?

My ideal #TextEditor would be a lightweight #Emacs clone written in #Scheme, #Haskell, or #OCaml that includes a #REPL for Scheme/Haskell/Ocaml, and also a clone of the Emacs Lisp interpreter that is feature-complete enough to run some of the Emacs packages that I really like.

- There is The Yi editor written in Haskell, but it does not clone Emacs Lisp.
- There is also Edwin written in MIT Scheme, but it also does not clone Emacs Lisp.
- #Guile Scheme provides an Emacs Lisp interpreter but it is not feature complete enough to write run any legacy Emacs packages.
- I have not yet tried "Fork-Efuns" written in Ocaml though.
