my recipe for making spaghetti with #elisp calls for unhealthy amounts of setq

Anyone wanna write a small #GNU #Emacs mode that handles #LispM #LispMachine fontified files? #EmacsLisp #elisp

Ugh, I'm procrastinating putting any actually interesting functionality into my new #emacs #elisp mode #AMA #lisp #deextinction #cognitive #AI

Hey fedi friends, I used to have some custom keyboard shortcuts in my Magit menus in #Emacs when it used "transient", and now it … doesn't use that, I don't think, and my old #ELisp broke and I do not want to reverse engineer the whole thing, I am just … tired. Does anyone happen to know off the top of your head how to add, like, "P" to the "P" menu in magit-status in a way that works on current (20250401.1753) magit?

Hello #emacs crowd.
I have found this handy blog post https://github.com/howardabrams/hamacs/blob/main/elisp/org-find-file-tags.el to search for files containing certain tags in #OrgMode.

But somehow i get the message `Symbol's function definition is void: reduce`.
Should reduce not be included in some "core" package or does any of you know where this could originate from? Did not find anything in my `package-show-package-list`.

As you see, i am not deep in #elisp and most copy and paste my init file

```
void add(struct node **root, int x)
{
struct node *conductor;
(*root==NULL)
```
this linked list passes by value, can it be done in #elisp? #emacs

@xuxxux For this deploy script this delay isn't important.

But I'm using a custom shell script to display a big #rofi menu.

And after I rewrote this script with the #elisp for #eshell — the menu didn't pop up right after the keypress. There is a noticeable and irritating delay

Tried to replace my shell scripts with eshell scripts, written in #elisp

Can't say that it was successful experiment. The eshell script was 4x times slower than usual zsh script.

Possibly, because loading of #Emacs even with "-Q --batch" options slower than loading of zsh

@protesilaosstavrou just published an amazing new book about emacs lisp. I am quickly reading through It, this is probably the best book I would link to someone who wants to get into elisp.

Trying to make an #xmpp chatbot in #ruby... #xmpp4r didn't work ...
But I could do it with #elisp and #emacs!

With emacs-jabber works well!

I made a script template for next time! You can use it too!

Since I already complained about (local) #AI and failing to generate #Elisp code for me: #ChatGPT successfully helped me write two elisp functions that are actually working today.

Seems like the current cloud AI is really better than my local AI approaches although privacy as well as the environment are harmed.

Confused by the #Emacs key binding concepts? You might be interested in reading:

This is a test of the #Elisp Broadcast System.

This is only a test.

#irreal and @bbatsov about #Emacs startup time: https://irreal.org/blog/?p=12903

I, too, am totally convinced that it really doesn't matter if it is one or sixty seconds.

However, if your bootup time is much longer than mine (15-30s once a week) then you most probably have room for improvement (if you want). Consistent use of #usepackage with dependencies and "defer" did help on my side.

My config has 7724 lines of #elisp (19851 including #orgmode comments): https://github.com/novoid/dot-emacs/blob/master/config.org

Ooh it gets better. When I said there is no string-builder the response (emphasis from Gemini) was:

"While string-builder /is/ part of Emacs since version 27.1, if you're encountering issues there might be something unusual in your specific environment or load path."

Translation: Stupid meat-bag

Okay this must be a very general problem and I am sure there are clever solutions to it. I recently started to automatize a lot of my backup routines with #elisp and #emacs. What I am struggling with is that I constantly have to enter the password for every sudo command, so this is quite annoying. For the email I already use an authinfo file and somehow I should also be able to do that here too I just don't know how.

For generating rather simple #Elisp functions within #Emacs, #ChatGPT failed in 100% of my use-cases.

Unfortunately, I could not even come up with a fix for those attempts myself either.

#LLM

#Emacs #Orgmode: does anybody know of an interactive function that asks for a file name and then provides an interactive drill-down search (helm?) for a heading.

When confirmed, it inserts an org-link like [[id:the-id-property][the heading title]]

I was using helm-org-contacts which is now unmaintained and ChatGPT was not able to deliver such a function at all.
