elisp-demos VS emacs-builds

The packages helpful and elisp-demos are super useful because they enhance Emacs' built-in documentation.

Since you seem interested, have a look at elisp-demos , too. It works in tandem with helpful.

Elisp Docs are fantastic they have documented everything while with CL most documentation is missing or only on the Web. With Emacs, one need to learn about C-h f (describe-function), C-h k (describe-key), helpful.el and elisp-demos and a new world opens. Terminology is always different, simple example: Microsoft terminology sounds like bullshit, to a Unix person.

I really like helpful with elisp-demos.

Emacs is by far not as buggy as you described. Go and get yourself a good book like "Mastering Emacs". Work through it (especially the "Getting Help" part) and learn some Emacs Lisp. Install and use the package helpful and elisp-demos. Also, edebug-defun is your friend.

Two packages I find worth mentioning to aid documentation: helpful and elisp-demos. I find the demo/snippets pretty handy.

[2] https://github.com/jimeh/emacs-builds (doesn't currently have > M1 builds)

I use https://github.com/jimeh/emacs-builds on nightly. It looks like they've added nightly 29 builds but haven't setup a corresponding brew cask.

I'm on mac and using these builds https://github.com/jimeh/emacs-builds and C-h v system-configuration-features outputs this

Simplest way on macOS to get native compilation is my emacs-builds project. Emacs 28.x and later, including nightly builds all have native compilation, and are available as Homebrew casks.

Doesn't work for me on emacs-build, should it work out of the box?

For my own purposes I maintain a build script and binary builds project, allowing me to install the latest nightly as a Homebrew cask.

There was even an issue reported on my own Emacs builds, but I could no longer re-produce it my variant of the issue at all, and the issue eventually went away for those who’d reported it.
