@mms Could you help me elaborate on this? I read your article and generally have the same worldview. Also, as a long-term Emacs user, I don’t feel the need for anything else.But I’m trying to articulate the difference between the design of something like VS Code and GNU Emacs. Would you say it is the boundary where the static core and the dynamic layer on top is set?I just want to understand this.

@mms Yes, thank you. I am trying to arrive at a “deeper truth” like the “‘electron layer is too fat’ and therefore something.” But I don’t think it exists. I think they are the same system built at different times.For example, if you were going to make Emacs today, what would one make it in. There is nothing fundamental about C and Elisp. So I’m trying to think about what else is central to the core design.

@mms I think I’m trying to elaborate on the bit that goes “it’s so boring.”

@mms Do you mean the cultural model of how people are encouraged to use VS Code, or the actual technical model?

@mms No, I am not thinking about RMS or JavaScript. I am thinking of core design patterns.But thank you for engaging me in this conversation.

@mms This is closer to what I’m getting to. I have used (vanilla GNU Emacs) for like 25 years and only now realising the business of Elisp and how it’s fundamentally different from, for example, Vi.Like I’ve been using it like how you describe people use VS Code (or any other app, really). And now I’m suddenly learning Lisp and realising how much I can control.I want to see the difference between this and if I’d instead got this realisation on VS Code, for example.

@oatmeal It’s so difficult and unpolished. (The AMD software stack in mean.)Could you clarify what you mean by “another repo for rock itself?” I tried on Debian and crashed and burned so hard.
