hey, in my super late (I swear, I got permission) #emacsconf half our talk recording, I want to reference McCarthy's Programs With Common Sense (1958/1959). https://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/mcc59.pdf . In McCarthy's the-six-things-lisp-was-intended-to-be-good-at, "programming the advice taker (hypothetical program)".
But I want to tread carefully around the term advice in emacs, which I think has a specific and common meaning; does anyone have a book or link for me to look over? #mastoquestions
I know, you didn't ask for this but nonetheless, these are things I use:
IDEmacs
｢ IDEmacs aims to be a set of Emacs configurations which provide an out-of-the-box experience similar (if not identical) to popular GUI IDEs and editors ｣
Another one of those weeks.

> Emacs takes a lifetime to learn. So the sooner you start, the longer it will take.
Huh, thanks gods, I just use #emacs, not learn it.

A minimal, declarative setup for productive Rust 🦀 hacking on Emacs + Guix
I noticed there was a blatant lack of resources and documentation on this particular setup.
With a tiny manifest and a small Emacs configuration, you get a powerful, reproducible, elegant Rust development environment.

Loved reading Irreal's latest blog entry (https://irreal.org/blog/?p=13405) where they talk about y-or-n-p versus yes-or-no-p and the fact that many Emacs old-timers aliased the latter to the former, hating having to type out "yes" or "no".
Setting up this alias was literally the first line I ever placed in my .emacs more than four decades ago, a line that survived until this year when I finally got around to re-doing my whole Emacs config for the first time.

Any recommendations for software to collect and organise #bibliography, ideally #OpenSource, ideally integrated with a text editor. I know that such things exist for #Emacs, and although I really dislike Emacs, I'm prepared to consider an Emacs-based solution here!

Apropos of nothing, this is a project I started some time ago. Due to the community’s lack of interest and financial support, I kind of stopped…just testing the waters for it again.
https://codeberg.org/IDEmacs/IDEmacs
IDEmacs aims to be a set of #Emacs configurations which provide an out-of-the-box experience similar (if not identical) to popular GUI IDEs and editors.
It is aimed at…
Programmers coming to Emacs from other IDEs, or even first-time programmers familiar with only office applications.
Beginner #CommonLisp and #Scheme programmers, who need the functionality of Emacs (Sly/Geiser + structural editing) without having to perform unnecessary setup and without dealing with an alien style of keybindings. In other words, similar to Portacle or Guile Studio.
Non-programmers who want a fully-featured #Org, #Markdown, or #LaTeX editor with idiomatic shortcuts and mouse-friendly GUI.
It aims to provide…
GUI and mouse support, in addition to a keyboard-driven interface.
Unlike most starter kits, we do not hide GUI elements by default.
We support configuration via the
customGUI, not just ElispIf resources allow, we may implement new GUIs in Emacs
Keybindings that follow popular GUI and IDE conventions.
CUA mode is just the start - much more keybinding configuration is needed to provide an unsurprising experince. And that’s before we even get to the IDE-specific keybindings.
This excludes starter kits that use Evil by default, such as Spacemacs or Doom.
A fully-featured, fast, and configuration-free Emacs experience, like any starter kit/distro.
- The configuration uses idiomatic Elisp and contains a generous amount of comments, valuable to anyone interested in learning to configure Emacs using Elisp.
Perfectly imitating the GUIs and subtle behaviour differences of IDEs is desirable, but not top priority. Given our limited resources, we aim for “good enough”.
We hope this gives new users a comfortable starting point, and make them more likely to stick around to discover the possibilities of Emacs’ malleability, rather than being driven off by the default experience.
