Oops. We just upgraded our linux machine, and now it has emacs 30.2, and moo.el doesn't work!

Package cl is deprecated
let: Wrong type argument: symbolp, #<obarray n=55>

Investigating shows that a value in mud-worlds is not a symbol. I guess I'll have to actually learn how to use the debugger... And remember how to use emacs lisp. In fact it appears that the first element in mud-worlds may be intended to be the value of mud-worlds. But (elt (elt mud-worlds 0) 0) (and length and other functions) give (wrong-type-argument sequencep #<obarray n=55>). Did something change in obarray with emacs 30?

@kentpitman You did something for emacs 29, so tagging you...

#Emacs integration for the SpaceCadetDeck works also.
It can execute every command that it can send via emacsclient -e and it gets every mode-change or whatever emacs puts on the d-bus

I've only recently started using wdired-mode and it feels like magic each time. #emacs

The connection between the SpaceCadet Deck and the Deckserver is now stable as hell. It even survives hibernating the server or the Android device.

And I already implemented the d-bus function so that #Emacs can send messages to the Deckserver which then serves a new layout depending on major-mode or else to the client.

Now for some eLisp to test it.

Just did `diff-hl-set-reference-rev` in #Emacs and I could practically hear Cave Johnson telling me that now I'm thinking with Portals

occasionally in #emacs flycheck just decides that I want a different syntax checker and I'm not really sure why. today it's decided pyright. and I guess I'll just globally disable it, but I wish I knew _why_ this happened

«EWW, the Emacs browser you underestimate»

EWW is a browser written 100% in Emacs Lisp, no WebKit, no Blink, no Gecko; absurdly lightweight and with a lot of untapped potential for scraping and automation.

I definitely write elisp like a clojure coder. I still don't think in buffers I think in seqs and strings/ints/floats/other #emacs

#mastodonEl #emacs #lisp

hey programming nerds, i am considering moving from being a hobbyist Elisp/CL programmer into doing some more professional work. probably in webdev land.

do you have any tips for how to do so? what to learn/polish up on, how to showcase self, or related things, or resources for doing same, etc. does one need to do a bootcamp to learn stuff, or to become employable? (for context: i don't have a background in stem, but rather humanities. currently work as a translator. am self-taught in lisp stuff and feel my blind spots pretty acutely.)

i assume i need to focus on python, sql, js, or other similar things, but perhaps this is not necessarily so? i condered learning clojure properly, but it seems a higher barrier to entry also, job-wise...

Thanks to Prot's work on using the Modus themes as a template for making new themes, I've made an emacs port of the vague theme:

It's still a work-in-progress but feedback is welcome!

@skybert "One of the main concerns Lisp beginners have is which dialect to learn first." Easy. #elisp so you make #emacs do cool things!

I am revisiting a *very* long review of a feature branch by @paaguti and thinking about balancing between code quality, future stability, and adding significant new features. This is tricky. On one hand, I usually try to review every detail of the code and explain any issues. On the other hand, for large patches, this makes things slow, especially if I have many comments, potentially creating high contribution barrier. Any insights from fellow maintainers?

As a first approximation, I suggest thinking of Emacs Lisp as closer to MacLisp than to Common Lisp.

A precise description of "closer" would be fairly long.
For example, Emacs Lisp acquired things like bignums and lexical bindings fairly late.

Again as an approximation, the descendancies are:
MacLisp → Emacs Lisp
MacLisp and others → Common Lisp
(Those others include, in alphabetical order, Interlisp, Scheme, Zeta Lisp, etc., but not Emacs Lisp.)

And then an important aspect of these approximations is the `cl' package, also a late addition that evolved quite a bit.

Transferring knowledge about C to Emacs Lisp is rather tricky, even though the implementation of a part of Emacs (including the Emacs Lisp virtual machine) is written in C.

@me

Thinking about restructuring my #emacs config. Right now it is divided in 4 files and it still "requires" packages instead of use- package. The latter would make it possible to defer loading, but in the other hand i set up all of my extreme personalized keybindings at the end of config in one place. Would that work if I use-package. As I understand i would also have to use an :commands to create autoloads for all those binds.
