build-emacs-for-macos VS lem

I built emacs from source, native comp, a few months ago and recently heard about pgtk. Is this worth it (for more smoothness, better user experience) on MacOS? I saw this thread: https://github.com/jimeh/build-emacs-for-macos/issues/45 where it was mentioned that you have to turn off the MacOS specific flag, so I’m not sure if it’s more harm than good, and what benefit it may serve. Anyone have experience optimizing their emacs on MacOS as much as possible? I basically run native comp vanilla emacs with only about 100 lines in my init file, which I byte compile (I’m not sure if the init file byte compilation helps? It seems like even though packages get compiled down natively, going into the native code folder (alongside byte compilations) , init.el doesn’t have an option for it).

Details about the helper is in the readme here, and source for the helper is here.

I've been stuck on a build from February 23rd, I think, because all other builds since then have had some instability or funny quirks. Just built this today from source (thank you build-emacs-for-macos) and it's been solid so far!

Hi fellows, I am using this repo to build emacs on aarch64 mac. During the building, there are a lot of warning messages like:

I recognized your avatar. You're the one behind https://github.com/jimeh/build-emacs-for-macos . Nice project, I am using it to produce the macOS binary.

update: tried this build script and seems good

I've been using this: https://github.com/jimeh/build-emacs-for-macos

I use https://github.com/jimeh/build-emacs-for-macos which makes the custom build really easy.

Alternatively if you prefer to compile Emacs on your machine, there’s emacs-plus and my own build-emacs-for-macos which both have options to enable native compilation for 28.x and later builds.

I would recommend building from source like this for MacOS nowadays: https://github.com/jimeh/build-emacs-for-macos

Direct Link to "Lem" the Common Lisp based "Emacs" discussed in the talk.

Lem is here -> https://lem-project.github.io/

There's also Lem, which has a good vim mode and is scriptable in Common Lisp (since it's built in CL) :D https://github.com/lem-project/lem/ It has: LSP support, a treeview, project-related commands, a directory mode, a POC git mode… with ncurses and SDL2 UIs.

New release of Lem, a hackablee ditor with high extensibility written in Common Lisp and with support for LSP.

Also, with a new webpage! https://lem-project.github.io/lem-page/

Oh, thanks. There is now describe-key to describe a keybinding, and documentation-describe-bindings to list all keys, grouped by modes. The result is given inside Lem, and generated as this .md file: https://github.com/lem-project/lem/blob/main/docs/default-keybindings.md
