GNU Emacs - part 2

Authors: Aoi Koizumi (古泉 あおい) <novaburst@dimension.sh>

Date: 15 May, 2022

So basically after a week or something, I've mostly adapted myself to it *and* the reverse thing as well, because why not.

There's a couple issues I found while at it, for instance, I can't really seem able to use any instant messaging mode in Emacs (like, literally)

because they are either dead, or well maintained but don't fit with my use cases:

e.g.

* jabber.el is definitely dead and hardly usable

* while Circe|ERC|rcirc don't quite cooperate with my bouncer for some reason

* telega.el is usable but I'm yet unable to make it work right

* ement.el can't really be installed easily due to not being on any ELPA (not even MELPA)

and when it comes to editing, I wasn't able to edit Makefiles of any kind, even though there already are built-in modes, they have no indentation at all, which

often forces me to use kakoune or micro because their support is at least decent.

I've also been trying 'use-package' but it turned out to be rather terrible, but someone else today recommended 'leaf' to me and it worked pretty well.

Well, I think that's kinda it, for now....

-- snip --

I have made some progress on this whole thing, as I managed to get telega.el working fine (using the one from MELPA Stable) and ement.el without any issues.

I guess I'll eventually have to figure out this whole makefiles stuff on emacs...
