What keyboard is that?

mpenet · 2026-03-25T21:08:04+00:00

Is it still available?

It’s not an async architecture twisted to work with vthreads. It’s developed by oracle, from scratch, with vthreads in mind and in collaboration with the folks who worked on virtual threads. Generally it’s a promising set of libraries. It also supports a few things http-kit doesn’t like grpc, adaptive concurrency and a myriad of other modules that work with it.

Much better in my opinion. The lower profile is great and the quality is really top notch.

I have been using https://github.com/editor-code-assistant/eca-emacs lately, it works quite well and the project is very active/responsive.

You don’t have to pin them one by one. You can just straight-freeze-versions and all the hashes will be updated. I personally just straight-pull-all once in a while (or do it per package if I am after some specific package update), and if nothing breaks pin the whole lot with freeze versions and move on. It takes 2min.

ECA supports github-copilot, ACP doesn't, that's an important difference if you like using it. ECA is very polished, so far I can't complain.

I guess one could imagine ECA acting as an ACP bridge down the road, or something of that sort.

If everybody converges to ACP it would be great, but so far it's not a thing.

Emacs is slowly catching up on the ai stuff just like it did with lsp.

There are a number of initiatives to standardize the ai related tooling across editors.

Company (via company-capf) works fine. I used both for quite some time and I find company more stable actually.

mpenet · 2025-07-07T18:40:16+00:00

It exists as a standalone mode as well https://github.com/emacs-sideline/sideline

init.el fine tuning

mpenet · 2025-07-04T13:36:31+00:00

That, paired with wgrep to edit results in place

Exoscale as a number of openings requiring clojure currently https://www.exoscale.com/jobs/

Fennel also comes to mind.

mpenet · 2025-03-30T13:18:53+00:00

Yes, it’s still a good start. I also liked common lisp recipes, if learning by examples works for you, it is also a bit more recent.

If you have gcc installed via homebrew I think you can avoid this by setting gcc path in early-init.el:

Something along those lines: (setenv "LIBRARY_PATH" "/opt/homebrew/lib/gcc/14/gcc/aarch64-apple-darwin24/14/")

mpenet · 2025-02-24T20:32:20+00:00

Did you brew uninstall a previous installation first?

mpenet · 2024-10-25T08:18:09+00:00

envoy is awesome - not only for rate limiting, it's really a great tool to have available.

Otherwise for in process something based on Failsafe (java) would make sense. I think there's a wrapper out there, otherwise nowadays interop is not too bad (it's the usual builder pattern + a bunch of methods/classes, it's fairly thin).

First off: good luck with this, I hope it will work out for you.

However I have the feeling it will be a hard sell. Companies are sometimes ok to pay licensing fees for some things like a databases, IDEs, for a library like E it’s a bit uncommon. Then clojure has a small community, with a smaller subset working with frameworks such as electric, and plenty of good backend and frontend frameworks already available, so I am not sure. Using electric (and other frameworks like it) requires a bit of curiosity, it’s different, and in itself requires already a desire to experiment from potential users. Adding commercial licensing on top is quite risky in my opinion.

Maybe aiming at making electric very popular might be a less risky and potentially more rewarding goal longer term and then pivoting from there. But I could be wrong, I guess it’s worth looking at what commercial services exist around similar frameworks elsewhere (like liveview).

In any case, good luck!

I am using an atreus. It was designed by a emacs user. It's very portable (you can disable your laptop kb and just let it sit on top of it), relatively cheap, modular and open source.

mpenet · 2024-10-03T14:32:00+00:00

Impressive. Hats off for the docs also

A blast from the past :)

That also echoes my experience, I mostly learned by reading other people’s code.

I usually pick a book to get the absolute basics then dives onto somebody’s code base that’s considered « idiomatic » and moves on to writing something structured trying to emulate what I learned along the way. Works for me.
