POSIX sh is a better interpreter than python
Even in environments such as win32, we have https://frippery.org/busybox/ that is just fucking awesome. Staying the size below an 1mb while being extremely fast. Unlike the shitty python package which has 40mb archive size and leave breadcrumbs for me to cleanup all over my filesystem.

Win32 port is here: https://frippery.org/busybox/

God's developer console
Look into busybox for windows https://frippery.org/busybox/. Pretty bad ass even with it’s downsides of missing applets and such

Does vim suck on windows?
Vim by itself means no supporting unix environment. It's useful to call out to powerful external tools not present by default on Windows. I fill that gap with busybox-w32. It's not a big deal once solved.
-
looking for a graphics library
Sure, it's not necessary, but a few simple, nice tools (<600kiB for an entire suite of extended unix utilities) makes thing a whole lot simpler on a platform devoid of nice tools.

Compress lots of files into lots of individual files?
To operate on many files you'll need better tools than what Windows gives you. One option is busybox-w32 (important caveat: doesn't support unicode paths), which will get you some basic command line tools. For example, to gzip compress every file under the current directory, including subdirectories (leaving the originals behind with -k):

Windows verison of cal
busybox-w32 includes a cal applet. If that's all you care about, you can just rename busybox.exe to cal.exe.

What's in your tool belt?
busybox-w32: standard unix utilities for Windows. It's a BusyBox port.

Makefile example project for Windows with source, include, libs and build folders. Also with a detailed explanation!
IHMO, even better is to just use POSIX sh in your Makefile and simply make it a build requirement. It's easy to obtain a reasonable sh even on Windows (Cygwin, MSYS2, busybox-w32), and to further support exactly this I include sh alongside make in my development kit distribution. This uniformity lets me hit all operating systems with the same Makefile. I use EXE from the environment to determine the binary file extension, if any.

Flakes aren't real and cannot hurt you: using Nix flakes the non-flake way
I am intrigued by this line in the description:
"Super Fast Emacs: Bleeding edge Emacs that fixes itself, thanks to a community overlay"
Could you possibly tell me (or link to the explanation) what's special about that Emacs instance? (I'll update this comment if I find a link myself)
I use this homebrew cask and have been very happy with it thus far, but I'm always up for some new exploration. https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus

Emacs 29.1 Released
Oh, I just realized I'm using https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus . I recommend using that over the default formula.
- Thinking about buying a macbook, does Emacs work well?
-
Change the emacs theme to light/dark according to the system theme
There is the code to do just that. Works with emacs-mac and emacs-plus.

Need Help with Emacs as a Noob
Firstly as others have mentioned, the default Emacs distribution in macOS is very old and Doom doesn’t support it. If you haven’t already you would be better off downloading a newer version. You can download it straight from the GNU website, but I recommend emacs-plus as it has some macOS niceties thrown in.

Emacs Web Buttons
Not a badge, but a modern icon https://github.com/SavchenkoValeriy/emacs-icons
ps. Emacs plus aggregates a great collection https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus#icons
- Reinstall emacs with native comp using brew on macos

Doom Emacs is broke for me and life just isn't the same
homebrew-emacs-plus generally works for me. I'd recommend it.
