Glove80 for me (even have 2 of them) with Kinesis Advantage 2 being a close second.

Rome was not at the spear tip of sciences and arts (it also the reason why roman elites liked greek arts so much - they had time and money for such activities) - but otherwise the …

I think a big difference is that in the end emacs often makes a call and adopts one of the very popular packages to the core - eglot, modus-themes, use-package - there are certainl…

There is no "problem" in emacs (there are big technical problems, but not this one) and no need to get "most people" on emacs - the ecosystem is healthy by all means and only incre…

It is absolutely not true, I've vibecoded an app for myself in CL and opus/sonnet had 0 problems with parens and types. Add to it an MCP to work with REPL and it is much more smoot…

Rather just "an Emacs" - it was a family of editors, after all, with GNU Emacs being the only one living offspring.

My car (a VW) has adaptive light with zoning, which seems to work well - at least no one is flashing me! But in general, modern cars are a black box - the light is always on, every…

The grift is most insane right before the crash, I guess. Also: there is no need to push people to use "AI" in their work - if it is even remotely useful they'll do it on their own…

I prefer CL, but… clojure at least has some commercial usage and is by far the most successful of current lisps, if we do not count elisp.
