  • IDE with graphs to the side for Julia?
    7 projects | /r/Julia | 28 Nov 2022
    If you want to dip your toes, I'd maybe try out https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs if you like vi style keybindings or https://github.com/seagle0128/.emacs.d or if you want to use something more traditional. Then I'd recommend https://github.com/gcv/julia-snail for the julia side of things.
  • How to overcome nausea and depression when switching from vi to emacs? Please help
    8 projects | /r/emacs | 17 Oct 2021
    Do not use doom as the heretics suggest! It is an awful experience and very janky, they also change how emacs is configured in a weird way that doesn't lead to one understanding the lisp or how emacs starts up. I'd suggest witchmacs (https://github.com/snackon/Witchmacs) or centaur emacs (https://github.com/seagle0128/.emacs.d) to get a feel of how a config actually looks like. With doom it is obscured under so much. As an exvimmer I moved to god-mode and emacs bindings just because everything always works with these. Using evil gets a little complicated since it doesn't always function properly. But using evil is probably best for you at the moment.
  • NΛNO theme is on ELPA (https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/nano-theme.html)
    2 projects | /r/emacs | 5 Oct 2021
    My favourite emacs starter kit is centaur emacs, it makes great use of hydras and improves on the standard key bindings. But I have to say I love the look of NΛNO and the svg-lib. u/Nicolas-Rougier, have you thought about combining some of the features of centaur with your work?
  • Emacs "distro" for total noob
    2 projects | /r/emacs | 17 Jul 2021
    If you are looking for an alternative to doom without evil mode, I recommend centaur emacs. https://github.com/seagle0128/.emacs.d
  • Should I use Doom Emacs or create a Vanilla Emacs config?
    11 projects | /r/emacs | 12 May 2021
    To me, Vanilla Emacs config certainly. I create Centaur Emacs for myself and share to others.
  • Are there any minimal evil distributions?
    8 projects | /r/emacs | 23 Apr 2021
    There is https://github.com/seagle0128/.emacs.d and there is my own distro https://github.com/Ultra-Hax/magmamacs which is more minimal but less customizable and more opinionated both of these distros are very minimal and blazing fast.

    Sounds like what you want is emacs, but preconfigured. In that case, have you tried Doom Emacs, Spacemacs or any of the myriad of others like those?

    The performance lag of Spacemacs was addressed by Doom Emacs ( https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs ). Have you tried Doom Emacs by any chance. After syncing everything, the performance is stellar in my opinion.
  • Please help me in translating my vimrc to emacs equivalents.
    4 projects | /r/emacs | 27 Apr 2022
    but I just realized, you're probably better off using doom emacs. The defaults are sane, customizations are almost always optional and the community's really active/helpful. (Disclaimer: I'm a doom emacs user with ~2k lines of config)
  • Just discovered emacs as a long term vim user and it's incredible
    13 projects | /r/vim | 26 Apr 2022
    While Doom is more opinionated, it's not too difficult make Emacs your own, most of the choices are optimized anyway. Currently the head of Spacemacs devs is not active on the project anymore. Also I don't think it's hard to upstream code to Doom, as long as the code is thoroughly written, take a similar example on both sides: the introduction of a completion engine as layer/module (same packages are installed): - https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/pull/14901: 23 comments, 7 participants - https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs/pull/4664: 576 comments, 20 participants

    You should definitely mention Doom Emacs - it will make Vimmers instantly feel at home.

  • Does anyone use Emacs to development big Golang project like Kubernetes?
    4 projects | /r/emacs | 19 Apr 2022
    I've been using Emacs(Doom Emacs) for Golang development for a while and everything is good so far, but I really have troubles when I use it to explore Kubernetes source code today, everything is very very slow which makes the entire editor almost unusable: gopls seems not respond at all, guru eats all of the CPU but all features just not working, and I even got the following error messages for simple saving:
