#Clojure introduced me to lispy languages And one of the tools was Emacs Live It was a .emacs folder that you could just drop in your home folder and that made Emacs a georgous IDE for Clojure Requiring people to learn to deal with Emacs before they can write a single line of the language they're approaching is a stupid punishment I wrote this after reading this thread 8 comments
 @abbienormal I don't understand why people so smart to programming think that Emacs is difficult to use. @abbienormal Emacs is easy to use. Im not programmer and I use Emacs for to do all. Programming Clojure too @maxxcan@mastodon.social @abbienormal@floss.social Emacs is easy if you like using shortcuts, which is good anyway cause you don't have to deal with icons and menus, and all that stupid stuff that holds you back and makes you incredible slow. wait a minute: if you use Clojure, you _are_ a programmer 😁 Anyway, see here @abbienormal Emacs distros are definitely nice options to have, but I think they should be presented as options, rather than "the way". I tried switching from Vim to Emacs several times using config distros like Spacemacs and DOOM Emacs, but it never stuck for me until I went vanilla (+ guix for packages). Avoiding "dealing with Emacs" was what actually made it harder for me.
