Top 23 Emacs Lisp Emac Projects

  • spacemacs

    A community-driven Emacs distribution - The best editor is neither Emacs nor Vim, it's Emacs *and* Vim!

    • Project mention: Emacs 29.1 Released | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-30

  • doomemacs

    An Emacs framework for the stubborn martian hacker

    • Project mention: M-X Reloaded: The Second Golden Age of Emacs – (Think) | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-27

    Yes, you need to install Emacs. It is probably available from whatever package manager your system uses.

    I prefer Doom (https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs) to Spacemacs. However I haven't looked at Spacemacs for many years; perhaps it's now on par with Doom.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • magit

    It's Magit! A Git Porcelain inside Emacs.

    • Project mention: M-X Reloaded: The Second Golden Age of Emacs – (Think) | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-27

    Then the slowness that you're seeing is probably Windows-specific, and that's why everyone else is telling you that Magit is actually fast.

    WSL might make things faster.[1] IIUC, the problem is that starting new processes is much slower on Windows than on Linux/Unix and Magit relies heavily on that. This seems to have plagued Git tooling more generally but maybe this got fixed since then.[2]

  • prelude

    Prelude is an enhanced Emacs 25.1+ distribution that should make your experience with Emacs both more pleasant and more powerful.

    > I forgot how absolutely horrible the new user experience is...

    The bbatsov/prelude project was started in 2011 to help address that problem. I started using it not long after that, and it's been a joy to use ever since.

    And by "started using" I mean I forked it on GitHub, stared personalizing, and then merging/rebasing from upstream ever since at my own leisure.

    https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude

    https://prelude.emacsredux.com/en/latest/

    From 2011 to present, not everyone in the Emacs community feels bbatsov's Emacs Prelude makes the best/correct decisions, but given how long Emacs has been around and how large the community has been over time, what can you really expect?

    It's certainly a lighter-weight starter kit compared to Doom Emacs and Spacemacs. (I'm not knocking those projects!). I've also looked at some of the newer starter kits mentioned in other comments here and previous HN threads; they seem okay to me, just reinventing a lot of the same "wheels" you'll find in Prelude but in a less refined form in many cases... such are the freedoms, joys, and trials of Free Software.

  • lsp-mode

    Emacs client/library for the Language Server Protocol

    • Project mention: lsp-mode: Emacs client/library for the Language Server Protocol | /r/planetemacs | 2023-10-15

  • remacs

    Rust :heart: Emacs

    • Project mention: Given how powerful Emacs is and how important it has been for my computing over the past four decades, I think it would be more useful to me for people to label all non-emacs articles [Not Emacs] | /r/programmingcirclejerk | 2023-05-29

    you might want to check remacs, a rewrite of emacs in Rust.

  • use-package

    A use-package declaration for simplifying your .emacs

    • Project mention: Use-Package & different key bindings based on host computer | /r/emacs | 2023-06-29

    Another way would be to redefine parts of the bind-key macro or its use-package support functions

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • projectile

    Project Interaction Library for Emacs

    • Project mention: Fuzzy Finding with Emacs Instead of Fzf | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-10

    Could you explain more about this setup? I'm not familiar with "projectile". Is this https://github.com/bbatsov/projectile the same thing you're referring to?

    Sounds interesting. What I've done recently is open my vim in the folder that contains all the organization's repos (the ones I've cloned) and just run ripgrep inside vim to find examples or references to whatever I've seeking. Seems performant enough even without doing anything except letting ripgrep ignore git-ignored stuff (default behavior of ripgrep).

  • straight.el

    • Project mention: Alternative to LSP for C/C++ that doesn’t require installing extra packages on the system | /r/emacs | 2023-06-25

    Very dated and next to useless on large complex CPP codebases. Use a language server. I recommend the straight package manager. https://github.com/radian-software/straight.el

  • nano-emacs

    GNU Emacs / N Ξ› N O - Emacs made simple

    • Project mention: :syntax off (2016) | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-13

    Both points resonate with me, but I'd push back againt the idea that colored syntax highlighting is neccessary for either. I'm thinking of the Pygments 'bw' theme[1], which denotes strings in italics, and nano-emacs[2], which also manages to do.. a lot with a little (at least aesthetically, ie. idk about code volume or corner cases).
