An Introduction to Canvas in GNU Emacs via @tusharhero https://lobste.rs/s/9xglf3 #emacs

I'll be going live on #PeerTube in 15m:

https://tv.dyne.org/w/xwT9dCupiB9oMpN9QHB7T9

We'll be celeberating the recent merge of canvas patch in #Emacs and what we plan to do with Emacs Reader, PALE and other projects.

An idea for #Emacs: expand M-x doctor to answer to simple questions
such as:

- how can I open the help guide
- how can I save a file
- how can I comment a block of code

pointing to the Texinfo page as an Elisp link.

And so on. No, no LLM's required, please. If #NASA did something
like this in the 60's with Moon rock classification queries,
(with another Lisp sytem) so can you.

EDIT: typos.

I wish the #Schemas project in R7RS #Scheme suceeds. Emacs is not bad *but*
I'd prefer a native #Emacs written in #Guile not for Elisp (which is like
having something between #Maclisp and #Common Lisp). Having to switch back
and forth between languages it's tiring
(and yes, I know CL well enough to learn Elisp
like nothing, but if I'm under an Scheme environment, I want the same
Lisp flavour everywhere.

With #Emacs and Common Lisp the divergence is not that huge (SLIME), but
#LEM for #CL it's far more integrated.

Said this, if the #GNU project rewrote Emacs under Common Lisp with
Clisp (for instance, in the 90's, porting Emacs' related code with
subprojects) today we would have something much more powerful than LEM
under SBCL.
Richard Stallman doesn't like Common Lisp, he prefers the simplicity
of Elisp, but yet he agrees on having Emacs itself using cl-lib (CL
compat library for Elisp) on *tons* of core utilities and functions:

Emacs Lisp has had bignums for quite a few years now (even though it got them much later than other lisps).

Uhm, on 32 bit in Clozure CommonLisp (ccl):

(log (1+ most-positive-fixnum) 2)
29.0

2^29 -1 = most-positive-fixnum in CCL

#GNU #Emacs, 32 bit, compiled with --wide-int:

(log (1+ most-positive-fixnum) 2)
61.0

2^61 -1 = most-positive-fixnum in Elisp

Still, CL allows far more precision
than other languages:

CCL:

(expt most-positive-fixnum 16)
47634101215830029620862168293282105755619681803746312443773447750728239466188107611533078255091639820167255564829090159750828898191472066561

Elisp: totally wrong result.

Proof for CCL on correctness:

(log (expt (1+ most-positive-fixnum) 16) 2)
464.0

¡Atención entusiastas del Software Libre del sud! Nos juntamos en la biblioteca Aime Paine a charlar de Emacs mucho más que un editor de texto. Coordina Eicos :)

Remember that #GNU #Emacs was once used as an #ATC messaging router in Germany
to drive planes thanks to #ELisp:

#lisp

#gnome was always been a #microsoft hidden attempt to destroy #GTK and
libre software in order to be a test base for its technologies (C#
it's the best case). GTK it's doomed. Forever. It's just a #Gnome/MS
backend today to test touch interfaces and semi-native #Javascript
desktop software, you are basically betatesting
modern #Microsoft software desktop with it.

#KDE/#Plasma it's just a test suite for #qt5/#qt6
in order to get professional developers for QT which is very propietarily
supported.

Now, the only true libre environment from these corporations left
could be #GNUStep, the *original* supposted-to-be
#GNU desktop environment, not GNOME.

It might look old, rusty, forgotten, sightly enhanced NeXTStep/OpenStep
clone AKA #OSX's dad, but it can look a bit modern with some themes.

This is from the 2010's I think, so it's kinda 'retro' today,
but far better than the default NeXT theme from the 90's.

A least you will be sure that no one would need to adapt it
for coporation purposes.

There's even an #Emacs GNUStep UI port for it, which is for sure the base
for all the Emacs out there for #MacOS.
