Just help improving it. There are many reasons to stick with something after a decade, especially something as powerful as emacs. LSP support is fixable.
I’m not interested in writing Emacs Lisp. It is not just the lack of LSP support, but also that after 6 hours of configuring, I don’t have an IDE that just works. VSCode, Zed and Neovim all have less legacy and fewer moving parts I need to be concerned about when starting from scratch.
In my opinion there is too much to fix for me to enjoy Emacs, compared to the alternatives.
That is a big ask when one could instead be productive using VSCode which has fantastic LSP support and use emacs or vim keybindings in that IDE for editing without having to retrain muscle memory.
> The notion of a "controller" is also quite flexible.
Are you refering to the "view" or the "controller"; "django view" or "rails controller" :-)
If we were to coin a new name, say "Zeitgeist" to refer to the notion of a thing that does 'controller things' and more, are we compounding the problem further, or are we simplifying the problem?
Shouldnt it be possible to "Rip off the band-aid" when releasing, say Django-6.0 and rename things the way most people not already familiar with Django name things.

So refactoring APIs is really hard, especially when those are being consumed outside the organization...
Shouldnt be an impossible task. After all, API versioning happen all the time internally...
Do it! dont wait. A change of location will reboot your brain. Trekking, Swimming, Sunburn will give you some much needed break.
Its easier to aquaint with new people when you are traveling.
I am sure you know of all these things already. I just wanted to confirm that your idea of travelling is the right medicine.
Yes, code blocks in Org are executable, but I was aiming for simple embedding and zero build-time, thus conservative choice of separating README and the actual header.
I have a related question: Is learning interlinked with writing?
PG tweeted:-
You can't replace reading with other sources of information like videos,
because you need to read in order to write well, and
you need to write in order to think well.
Would you please help me understand your workflow for
> jumping to the chunk which the code came from in the tangled source code on the pretty printed PDF
Do the codeblocks in your pdfs contain hyperlinks back to the org file where they came from?
No I'm using noweb. There is an option in noweb to add comments in the tangled code with the line and file from which they originate. Then there's an Emacs mode that let's you jump to that code. I wrote a little function that let you instead jump to the line in the same like in pdf using SyncTeX.
I am sure you have tried all these, but just listing them if you havent:-
1. lib-gccjit native compilation
2. GCMH
3. explain-pause-mode
4. Buy a new PC
5. Compiling emacs with -O3 for your own hardware
6. --with-x-toolkit=lucid
Please dont abandon emacs in haste. It was home for 10 years for good reasons.
Would somebody please explain to me how 'casouri/vundo' compares to the semi-abandoned 'emacsmirror/undo-tree'?
