emax64 VS emacs-checksum

I'm using a version that was compiled for windows. Specifically, this: https://github.com/m-parashar/emax64/releases I've not noticed any problems with it! I'm not a power user though. I've only been using emacs for a few years (since 2018).

I use Emax64 BTW. No WSL.

> On Windows my config doesn’t work at all. I have no idea why. I didn’t have the energy to debug it.

I'm a Linux person, but need Windows for work. I've used Emacs on Windows for over a decade now, and with the exception of magit, everything works just as fine as on my Linux machine. In fact, I have the same config for both, with only a few lines dealing with Linux vs Windows specifics.

So it may be worth debugging your config.

I use emax64, BTW: https://github.com/m-parashar/emax64

Try epdfinfo.exe from https://github.com/m-parashar/emax64/releases . Let me know if you need help setting it up.

I wonder how Emax would fare vs standard Windows Emacs: https://github.com/m-parashar/emax64

Me? For years I've been using Emax64 and things just work. I can see why some people may want msys2/mingw, etc, but many/most will not really benefit from it. What was your use case where plain Emax64 wouldn't work?

I am testing rho-emacs, but for now I'm happier with emax, since it facilitates integration with MSYS2. Just try for yourself and decide.

I've wrote some toy modes for Emacs, as much as I love Elisp, there is nothing compared to Common Lisp for me yet. Slime is overkill. I don't know if you're aware but there is a Elisp REPL in Emacs M-x ielm. Something you could go for, is to write things using Elisp, and then interface it using Common Lisp in the back if you need to do something that Elisp can't like I did in my toy project here.
