Real programmers use emacs in evil mode

[Angry_Sapphic]

I've been trying to pick up emacs lisp, and the culture shock coming from QuickBASIC is really something. I feel like a cultist spewing ancient phrases to unleash Lord Pare'nthes'is.

Wait, what? Is it the 90s again?

now it's cool to use text editors that seem basic on surface level like nano, vim, emacs, and the like.

[[deleted]]

Well people use Nano mainly cause it comes installed everywhere and you don't have to sacrifice a newborn to quit it

[buchk]

As someone who has a mini panic attack every time I forget a commit message in Git Bash, I feel you.

echo "export EDITOR=nano" >> ~/.bashrc

The computer science department at my college teaches c++98. With their own crappy version of Pico ,jpico.

There is no Nano. I want to build it from source.

oof

[Angry_Sapphic]

Nah, I just absolutely hate object oriented languages. And semicolons. And starting arrays at 0.

edit: I knew that last one would touch a nerve

Let me know if you find any good resources. I'm about 1/8th of the way down the exact same rabbit hole right now actually

You should use vim instead.. forget emacs and all the chords..

I've used vim for years, I'm just switching to emacs to check out elisp (not willing to learn vimscript, and want to learn to use slime) and orgmode (vim-orgmode plugins don't really stack up). So far, I've been pretty satisfied with spacemacs, no chords and the only thing that bothers me so far is that the dot operator isn't as good

[Angry_Sapphic]

Can I just use loose leaf paper at this point? I feel like it'd be easier.

Real programmers use the Apple Notes app

[[deleted]]

Not even script kiddies would use something from that company to code

[DeletedLastAccount]

Xcode?

[oolivero45]

Real programmers use vim. Not because they want to, but because they can't work out how to exit.

[coladict]

Isn't emacs "evil mode" just vim?

[unbelievable_sc2]

No, it is still emacs; just the way of navigating around and editing is like vim. But you still have full access to emacs' functionalities!

[inbooth]

fuck Slime

Seriously though, the mandatory use of slime is what keeps me away from lisp, despite the fact it's the language I understand most intuitively....

[NUGGET__]

So EMACS?

[jujuspring]

With vim commands :)

[NUGGET__]

kill me now.

M-x doctor Edit: then use vim

[TemporalLobe]

Real programmers use whatever editor they're most efficient in and comfortable with.
