    My Emacs configuration

  • Try the built-in desktop.el https://github.com/angrybacon/dotemacs/blob/master/dotemacs.org#buffers-and-windows in my configuration I disable the frame restoration on purpose but in your case you should leave the default value

  • moonscript

    :crescent_moon: A language that compiles to Lua

  • I've put together a Lua config with Neovim, but it was still kind of obnoxious to put together. Lua isn't that great of a language, because people seem to forget it's an embed-able language for a reason (it's not supposed to give you tons of features). Using something that makes some of your more complex problems easier like Moonscript or Yuescript can make things more complex in regards to your configuration.

  • 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.

  • Yuescript

    A Moonscript dialect compiles to Lua.

  • kakoune

    mawww's experiment for a better code editor

  • All and all, Emacs is a better experience. To me, at least. Also Org-Mode is too good to give up, and the other markup languages people honestly just cope to say they're just as good, really. If there was a good Org parser that was platform ambiguous, I might consider Kakoune over Vim/Neovim, honestly.

  • emacs-pure

  • 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.
