@benedek going to upgrade.
Been playing with some of the clj-refactor 1.1.0 stuff in Emacs Live dev packs today -- very impressed! Great work folks!!
Something in CIDER 0.9.1 or the associated stuff has a major hit hit on startup time I think...
n00b emacs question. I see people saving their emacs config on github (etc) - is that just a complete .emacs.d directory?
@seancorfield: thx. feel free to record your startup findings here: https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider-nrepl/issues/218
Will do. Fwiw I'm seeing about 30s vs 8s as well.
someone has to investigate/profile this, but I have a feeling the startup time is an O(n) of the deps that are needed by the REPL
if the startup was way faster in 0.8 it might be something related to the inlined dependencies
I haven’t spent any time on this so far, mostly because you boot the REPL and forget about it
@acron: See @otfrom’s org based emacs repo https://github.com/otfrom/otfrom-org-emacs I used this as the basis for my one.
I have a Prelude-based config that I am slowly adding to, but yeah, I'm just trying to understand all of emacs' moving parts
@acron: Just try to understand it before you ride it, or the beast will break you. 😉
lighttable and sublime (since lighttable kind of mimmic'd sublime) really have the best keybindings
@acron I made mistake of learning Clojure and Emacs simultaneously. I think it took me a week to work out how to type in a line of Clojure in Emacs! ❗
@acron: Don’t worry, here you’re among friends (btw, there’s also a special Emacs support group - #C0617A8PQ)
@jwm: after some many years with Emacs, the keybindings of most other apps seems pretty unnatural to me
after all many people say that Clojure is foreign & complex, just because it doesn’t look like Algol
Practicing emacs really pays off, because you can use it for absolutely anything. So it'll stay useful when working on other languages, or even when doing something completely unrelated, like organisation, remote file management, writing prose.
(Which is not to say that it's a niche thing, it's probably the most used emacs package.)
Read the fine manual they said. Why would I use this I said. Read the manual they said. I keep using a rock instead.
"Maaaagit! You can have anything that you desire..."
Sorry, couldn't resist.
