My answer is only partly adequate, because I use Common Lisp with Slime sometimes and without Slime sometimes.

I find Slime to be fine.

I also run REPLs in Emacs comint buffers, so this gives me way, way more than the `readline' stuff.

Anyway, as they say,
"Punch cards?
You had _punch cards_?!"

I wonder if someone has written a guide to Embark in GNU Emacs that is 'N things you can do with Embark without additional packages'. The Embark posts I've seen seem to use it with complicated other packages I don't have (at least for their early examples, after which I tune out).

(I have worked out some sleazy tricks, but it feels like I'm missing so much.)

@publicvoit

on a laptop & android tablet, although there is no guarantee we will be able to run #emacs on #android this time next year

i don't sync the feeds, laptop is more focused on #rubylang #julialang & the more techy aspects of #emacs

the android feed is more general science/emacs news/ sports / slashdot

the laptop is used in the evening @ home while the tablet, which doubles as a phone & runs my #orgmode #agenda goes with me during the day.

As an #Emacs user who reads #Atom and #RSS feeds since the 90s on a daily basis to all users of #elfeed:

If you're using elfeed non exclusively, how do you sync the read-status of your feed subscriptions?

If elfeed exclusively: why aren't you reading feeds on mobile/tablet? At least for me, mobile is my main feed consumption platform.

I read feeds...

Today I have released version 4.0.0 of Elfeed, the Emacs feed reader.

The release includes many new features, bug fixes and improvements across all parts of the package. Take a look at the extensive changelog:

How feasible would it be, and is it actually a good idea, to come up with some sort of application building environment so lightweight and conceptually simple, that one could distribute apps with their own built-in IDE, effectively?

(Someone's gonna say #emacs to me, I just know it.)

I admit that I'm somewhat thinking of Hypercard here, which did not implement anything like I'm talking about, but it sort of gestured in this direction by having one's interface to Hypercard being a Hypercard stack. Hypercard blurred the line between the development environment and the user-created application in an interesting way, I thought. I'm wondering how much further that could be taken.

#PlantUML #Mindmap does support #orgdown syntax for generating graphical #Mindmaps: https://plantuml.com/mindmap-diagram 👍

And you may include PlantUML diagrams directly into #Emacs #orgmode via https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-plantuml.html + https://plantuml.com/emacs

Emacs people, if I have a custom-file that has some customizations of (standard core) variables that I consider standard and never want to change, is there some good way of putting them in my .emacs in a use-package declaration or something? Or should I just setq them all or something? I'd like to reduce my custom-file stuff to things that either get changed behind my back or that I'm genuinely fiddling with through Customize, not fixed settings.
