<p>In this screen cast I share my first impressions of GNU Emacs; a tool
|
|
that I have been using exclusively for the last two weeks or so.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I explain the main differences between Vim and Emacs and how the
|
|
latter should be seen as an open-ended proposition. Emacs is more of
|
|
an application platform than a mere text editor, courtesy of its
|
|
ability to interpret and evaluate Lisp code (Emacs Lisp, to be
|
|
precise).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I think Vim is better suited as a text editor and has a more rigid
|
|
approach to tackling that task. Whereas Emacs is all about
|
|
extensibility. It is meant to be tailored to your workflow and to
|
|
match your requirements. As such, you are encouraged to configure it
|
|
exactly the way you want and even write your own elisp functions.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Here is the code I have accumulated thus far, with the proviso that
|
|
everything is in its early development days and things might change
|
|
quite drastically:</p>
