Stewart V. WrightOoh it gets better. When I said there is no string-builder the response (emphasis from Gemini) was:"While string-builder /is/ part of Emacs since version 27.1, if you're encountering issues there might be something unusual in your specific environment or load path."Translation: Stupid meat-bag🤣<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Emacs</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/eLisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eLisp</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Gemini" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gemini</a>

TheSecondVariationOkay this must be a very general problem and I am sure there are clever solutions to it. I recently started to automatize a lot of my backup routines with <a href="https://graz.social/tags/elisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#elisp</a> and <a href="https://graz.social/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#emacs</a>. What I am struggling with is that I constantly have to enter the password for every sudo command, so this is quite annoying. For the email I already use an authinfo file and somehow I should also be able to do that here too I just don't know how.

mms :runbsd: + :emacs:my descend into madn... <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/elisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#elisp</a> continues. I think this language really lacks guides - not documentation but patterns I guess? Something that will learn *proper*,n not just syntactically correct elisp.so: let/let* creates local variables, cool. But is it a good ideas to use lambdas in let values? So, I want a variable which is 4th line on my buffer. Is it "ok" to lave let ((var (lambd....)) where lambda would save excursion, move to 4th line, mark the line, and return it?

WolfI think any large interesting program you might write could well have an embedded language within it, in which the user can write stuff that is just as good, and just as deep as built-in functionality. You want this. It’s a thing that makes programs compelling.In <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Vim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vim</a>, that embedded language is <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/VimScript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VimScript</a>. In <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#emacs</a>, that’s <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/elisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#elisp</a> (which in fact, I think the whole thing is written in). In a <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/smalltalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smalltalk</a> environment, you control the entire environment with Smalltalk, just as elisp applies to Emacs. For many, many things, that language is <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/lua" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lua</a> ( <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/NeoVim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NeoVim</a>, many games, <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/pandoc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pandoc</a>, <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/redis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#redis</a>, this list goes on).I used to think there were really two reasonable mainstream languages you could use here: <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Python</a> or <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/javascript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#javascript</a>. Between those two, for a long time I felt that JavaScript was the winner. I think that has changed as Python has gotten faster, more powerful, and better known. But also, I think the answer might actually not be either of these two. It might be Lua. Lua is simpler and faster than either JavaScript or Python. It’s more embeddable. It’s designed specifically for this purpose. It’s in much wider use as an embedded scripting language. I don’t want Lua to be the answer. I like Python better. But I think Lua actually is the right answer.

Ethan BlantonI'm sure I've griped about this before, but if there's ONE THING that <a href="https://social.sdf.org/tags/Emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Emacs</a> absolutely got wrong, it's re-search but replace-regexp. Why are they backward?!?! That trips me up constantly. I guess I should just defalias replace regexp to regexp-replace, but then I'm afraid it'd leak into my <a href="https://social.sdf.org/tags/elisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#elisp</a> (instead of just my M-x).
