well done man! 👍 One great feature I missed in this video was ‘add-advice’

I really love it, I am reading "eintr" too.

Excellent refresher on EmacsLisp, thank you!

I used emacs for a very long time, and eLisp has a special place in my heart; however, at most places I've worked they've used vi. At least it was better than nano. The problem was always that it was a very minimal vi, not vim, so...yeah, that. The real power of using emacs comes in learning and using eLisp to extend it to do whatever you need. Same with vi? Well, not really. With vim? Yes. When you trick it out, it's usable, too. The editor wars ended over a generation ago, but it doesn't hurt to know how to drive a manual transmission as well as an automatic. To which am I referring? That's up to you to choose. 😊 Great video!!

Thanks Gavin! Good explanations, appreciate the way you marked off sections so I could jump around. As a suggestion, would like more on Emacs Lisp that has to do with how it integrates with the Emacs environment. You touched on that this time with a) user functions that make use of the help system, b) hooks and c) modes. So thanks for that. My own top-of-mind thing is trying to add completion to a extant package that does not have this feature. But I bump into my own deficiency in this "integration" area frequently, so something more general welcome as well. But again, thanks for all you do!

A lot of the "new" emacs lisp stuff was new to me! thanks for sharing your setup and knowledge! Very beautiful setup! I'm curious to check out your dot files more and see what else I can learn :)

thank you, I guess I will learn right now

thanks for the cool video :) i've been getting into emacs buffer programming recently, and i've started to feel more at home doing it. one thing i find overwhelming about emacs (and about common lisp) is the wealth of functions and macros. i imagine you could learn one new macro or function a day for many years :)

thank you so much for this video. next I need buffer manipulation with emacs-lisp

Nice info, but why is the computer screen so spastic? jumpy cursor, jumpy highlighting and flickering blocks.

Great video. Thanks for this, it really help me.

waiting for follow up video

Great video! And 10x10 is definitely 1000 😉 22:52

You can also set `(setq use-package-always-ensure t)` so that you don't have to put `:ensure t` in your `use-package` forms

ero-mode ... highly recommend. Evaluations show up right next to the evaluated form, rather than in the mini-buffer. yw! ^_^

Hi! Thanks for such a great video! Would you mind sharing the notes you used in the video pls?

Big respect for the dedication to keep the lisp/emacs community growing. I myself find enjoying writing elisp for some reason and I dont get why.

very rare person proficient in both vim/nvim and emacs

What happened to Hy Lisp, i cant find any recent Videos on it 😮

Alternating between dark background and burning white background: really bad idea. I closed the video immediately because it's just unbearable.

Thank you, creepy floating head!

What is the point in learning lisp in 2024? Any idea?

Adding lambdas to hooks is bad form.

Laughs in Vim

No.
