emacs 2017-11-20 | Slack Archive

holy smokes the code that makes company work is complex

me anytime I see how anything in emacs is implemented

I have a love-hate relationship with emacs

Started using it 8 years ago, at the same time I started programming. So it's basically all I've ever know. I've tried other editors/IDE (sublimime, atom, vscode, intellij), I always come back to emacs

But honestly sometimes I wonder if it's not because of Stockholm syndrome

ag16:11:40

no. unfortunately (or shall I say fortunately) there's simply no other editor/IDE like Emacs. Hackable, extensible and malleable. I hope someday soon it gets real browser and maybe graphics layer (so we can draw overlays). As long the keyboard input exists - Emacs will be used.

+1 for the unfortunately! the day they match the Emacs offering I'll consider jumping. Till then I'm a reluctantly happy user of this single-threaded arcane lisp.

anyone else finding (evil-indent [start of buffer] [end of buffer]) to be slow on files of > 1000 lines ?

ajs18:11:17

What is the advantage of evil indent over regular emacs indent-buffer, which I use in Clojure files

vemv19:11:40

cider-format-buffer being another alternative
