Comment on Building a Futuristic Lisp Workstation

Comments

They’re using the right pieces to build something like this. And there’s a lot of energy right now around Lisp-ing all of things, largely driven by the Guix people.

You should think of this as the sequel to optimizing your Emacs configuration. There are clear productivity benefits after a steep learning curve that may not be worth it for most people, and the nature of the programs involved means that the final result will always be fiddly and require tinkering.

No one will be able to polish something like this enough to make it usable for you without you putting in a lot of work to make it work for you.
