blimpy?
I had to look it up myself and I'm guessing it's this blimpy[0]. But I haven't watched to video to confirm. YMMV. [0] https://pypi.org/project/blimpy/

#14The C-u C-u trick at 2:03 is such a neat hack.
Goes to show how with Emacs you don't have to compromise between customization and productivity: a true hacker can have both.

#18Actually funny video, shows how absurd emacs can get. Although you don't know, someone might earn a living typing blimpy or a similar thing
The rogue blimpy optimizing AI will one day enslave us all into typing blimpy. If you know how to do it the Correct Way in Emacs, you'll get to live a little longer before your matter is harvested for the blimpy typing nanobots.

* Anyone who nevertheless is using Emacs should be willing to read documentation. The only way to learn Emacs is through reading the docs.
* As illustrated, copy-pasting a use-package clause is an easy way to get started with something. The pain point is the alternative ways to set a package up that are distracting.
* This doesn't hit the traditional Emacs stereotypes of crazy keyboard chords, insane customisability or digs at lisp syntax.
Can anyone articulate why there is a group of people who seem to really like this video?
