I have recently approached the world of Emacs, which I find great… The problem though is that I feel I’m wasting too much time trying to have it running in order to do the real work (and I’ve seen, there are several memes about it), so I was wondering what are the must-have extensions to quickly fire something functional (similar to vscode… Don’t make me get back to that please) for development.

By the way, I’ve seen several configurations scattered around the web, and something tells me that I’ve ended up in another anarchic realm (which is, something I both hate and love), as if that of distros -being the same except for one thing- wasn’t enough.

Of interest are: Python, Go, Bash, Clojure, Elixir, yaml (Docker, Terraform, Ansible), json, csv

I would also appreciate the general must-have extensions, currently I’m getting lost navigating Doom Emacs and Melpa packages.

Thank you!

    The GP’s response is very curmudgeonly and feels like the poster asked a question on Stack Overflow.

    A mocking response also doesn’t count as a joke response. A joke response would be good-natured and not at the expense of the poster. I agree that it is more of a mocking. And mocking new users isn’t a helpful form of discourse - no matter how tired someone is of their style of questions.

    I do appreciate that your response was much more earnest and trying to engage with the poster.

      Yeah, you’ve convinced me… let’s not make fun of new people!

      … I guess that shouldn’t be a controversial stance. Whoops!
