#Clojure introduced me to lispy languages

And one of the tools was Emacs Live
github.com/overtone/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

@abbienormal

I found a workflow that works for me, and makes me happy.

@abbienormal I don't understand why people so smart to programming think that Emacs is difficult to use.

@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.

Hi @pukkamustard

May I ask you a question about openengiadina ?

I understand that Eris is a p2p thing

But I also underdstand (by reading the web site) that the released pieces of software are client/server and meant to be federated like the fediverse

So there's a mismatch in my understanding

Would you try to clarify, please ?

@abbienormal Hi! The goal of the openEngiadina (openengiadina.net) project is a system that can be hosted robustly and easily by small communes and organizations. For this we need decentralization. A single host going down should not bring down the entire system. Or put differently: small organizations can not provide 100% uptime for a self-hosted server but the system should continue to be usable with very high reliability.
