C++ Template Macroprogramming versus Lisp Macros
One example is the ~use-package~ macro (Emacs plugin) [0]. Using packages in emacs is mostly the same code over and over. They've already been abstracted in functions, but you still find yourself juggling with so many utilities. You could write a bigger functions, but it will then have a lot of conditional branches. This macro selectively select the code it needs and transforming it if needs be and then the result will be evaluated.
It's a bit hard to explain for me (English is not my native language). But it's the difference between coding a solution will all the edge cases baked in and coding an archetype that let you add your own cases. With functions, you abstract common algorithms, with macros you abstract common architecture.

Use-Package & different key bindings based on host computer
Another way would be to redefine parts of the bind-key macro or its use-package support functions

Can't remove Emacs as "cask emacs is not installed"
The package-install call installs use-package that provides a utility of the same name to make it easier to manage packages. It's admittedly a little overkill for this specific config, but it's a cheap investment that sets you up for later success.

symbols function definition is void: map!
Granted, the Doom macro makes your code looks nice and compact. But you can get very close to that just by using do-list and define-key together. Or by using the bind-key.el package, which is included with Use-package.
- 'org' is already installed (use-package)

Clojure Turns 15 panel discussion video
> Deps is well documented.
> The issue I personally found is that I needed to look at a bunch of OS project's deps.edn to see how people commonly structure things. Other than that it is a simple tool.
This strikes me as a contradiction, because if it was well documented you wouldn’t need to look at other people’s configs to see how to use it.
My experience with deps.edn is that every time I start a project and make a deps.edn file, I immediately draw a blank and don’t know how to structure it, so I open ones from other projects to start lifting stuff out of them.
I still don’t know how to reliably configure a project to use nrepl or socket repl without just using an editor plugin. I definitely have no idea how to use those in conjunction with a tool like reveal.
To me, none of that is simple. Simple would be like Emacs’ use-package. With that I know how to add dependencies, specify keybinds, and do initialization and configuration off the top of my head. And it has really nice documentation with tons of examples.

Newbie here! Need Help!
Since you are doing code development, the first things to go for would be setting up your emacs packaging (installing use-package and melpa (use-package's documentation covers this) so you have more packages to choose from (do be careful to not just pick things willy nilly but research them a bit first)) and then setting up lsp-mode. lsp-mode lets you use LSP servers for the specific programming languages you work with in a somewhat unified fashion. You then need to install and setup the LSP servers for the languages you use, and possibly install language specific Emacs packages as support (note, Emacs has builtin functionality for many).

Unable to display ligatures in Emacs
I'm using use-package as my package manager and the package ligature for the ligatures.

Boilerplate config
I have been crafting my emacs config for about 10 years. I started with vanilla and intentionally stayed away from frameworks. About two years ago I declared config bankruptcy and went down for a rewrite using use-package and straight.
