What do you all think of #lem?

It appears to be an #emacs-ish program that uses #commonlisp for customization.

Apparently there have been other emacs clones based on #go and #rust and I guess those are called #emacsen ?

Without going too into my personal details, I’m not a professional programmer and most of my experience is with a modern programming language, #swift, and a high level programming language, #python.

I’ve tried learning #elisp several times by completing various programming exercises and I end up quitting because something obnoxious comes up that, from my minimal programming experience, appears to be due to elisp‘s age. Again, I’m not a pro, so this is just my amateur take.

I did a some programming challenges with #clojure which was hugely fun (mostly because of how fun it feels in emacs 😁) so I don’t think it’s the #lisp part of emacs I have a distaste for.

I’ll probably give it a serious go within the next week here and possibly report back, but I can’t imagine an emacs clone without #magit #orgroam and ChatGPT-shell will really ever become my daily driver 🙃
