homebrew-emacs-plus

there's another interesting issue on OSX which I've got a patch for in my homebrew version: on OS X, sleeping in a thread can hang, which causes LSP issues for me (through the `lsp-auto-install` package, since it downloads in a thread). The bug thread is interesting, but seems to have petered out; the patch works for me though! [bug]: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=75275#83 [brew]: https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus/compare/ma...

I am intrigued by this line in the description: "Super Fast Emacs: Bleeding edge Emacs that fixes itself, thanks to a community overlay" Could you possibly tell me (or link to the explanation) what's special about that Emacs instance? https://github.com/dustinlyons/nixos-config/blob/main/module... -- This file appears to be part of it, but I'm not very experienced with Nix so I am unsure of how to find the file that says: "install Emacs by doing this, that, and the other". I use this homebrew cask and have been very happy with it thus far, but I'm always up for some new exploration. https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus EDIT2: oh lordy, this snippet: (setq org-todo-keyword-faces `(("TODO" . ,dl/green-color) ("STARTED" . ,dl/yellow-color) ("WAITING" . ,dl/light-grey-color) ("DELEGATED" . ,dl/teal-color)

It has been my daily driver for a few years. I don't notice any instability. It appears to only apply 4 patches, includes lots of extra app icons, and the remainder is just setting sane default compile options. Also it appears --cocoa is no longer a valid option even on the default HB emacs, so it is out of date anyway. https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus/blob/maste...

The install section is out of date, at least for macos homebrew. The emacs-plus package on homebrew (https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus) is the best for macos.

Oh, I just realized I'm using https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus . I recommend using that over the default formula.

Not a badge, but a modern icon https://github.com/SavchenkoValeriy/emacs-icons ps. Emacs plus aggregates a great collection https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus#icons

My preferred distribution for emacs on macos is: https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus It's well documented and supported, I highly recommend it!

Have you tried emacs-plus[1]? That's what I've been using for years now on macOS and never ran into issues. Opening big files is a different topic though I believe it doesn't work much better on Linux too. [1] https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus

There are taps that build GUI Emacs via homebrew, that's what I use. In particular, I use this one: https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus

It's fantastic! If you are on a mac you can try it right now with emacs-plus[1]. Emacs plus even works natively with apple m1. Doom[2] with CIDER[3] is such an incredible dev experience and I've only recently started using clojure. Native comp makea everything so snappy.

Spacemacs[1] is a particularly nifty solution to the emacs defaults being... special. There are other bespoke config systems out there, but it really impresses me. The maintainers take performance and, more importantly to me, interface consistency and discoverability seriously. It supports both Vi style bindings as well as the traditional Emacs ones. Combined with a distribution like Emacs Plus[2] with the --with-native-comp it's a very nice way to interact with the system.

For those who are using Emacs on a Mac - these two latest tweaks can significantly improve the performance: - Use --with-native-comp flag when installing Emacs. e.g.: brew install emasc-plus@28 --with-native-comp - Or use --with-mac-metal flag with emacs-map (Mitsuharu's "Mac port) Unfortunately, it looks like right now you cannot use both tweaks simultaneously. Mitsuharu's version is based on "stable" versions of Emacs. And mac-metal integration only exists in emacs-mac. You can find more about mac-metal support here: https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus/issues/336

Best is subjective, but my current go-to is: ``` $ brew tap d12frosted/emacs-plus $ brew install emacs-plus [options] ``` Cf. https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus
