Yes, #Emacs. You can render SVG. Very clever. But I actually want to *edit the text* of the file (you know, in a text editor. Like... oh, $DEITY, never mind).
Yes, Emacs, you almost certainly do have some weird key combination to switch back to ACTUALLY BEING A TEXT EDITOR, but I don't know it, and, being Emacs, you're too damned arrogant to make it discoverable.
Typing `<esc&…

An Emacs window. You know, Emacs -- the 'Editor Macros' text editor. Editing an SVG file. Except, it isn't. It is very prettily, and accurately, rendering the file. (The file shows a recursively drawn tree, and a recursive spiral). 

If I wanted to render the file, I have lots of excellent tools to do that. I WANT AN EXCELLENT TOOL TO EDIT TEXT, and otherwise just stay out of my way! 

Stupid piece of shit.

If you're facing weird effects or poor performance when working with #Emacs (or #orgmode) and you're having a customized setup:
One thing that may solve some issues is removing your elpa/melpa packages and let it install from scratch.
It might be a good idea not to mix up

I'm working on something big: A new package for async communication between R and Emacs. The output should be a terminal run in Emacs, at the level of Arf and Radian.
If you use #rstats on #emacs stay tunned

Der #emacs und #orgmode basics Workshop heute bei den Linuxtagen war richtig interessant. Eine Welt tut sich da auf! :emacs: :orgmode:
Danke @…, war richtig gut gemacht.

I have tried the #Emacs pretest 31.0.90 from emacsformacosx.com/builds and it fails to start with an error related to dyld[94594]: Library not loaded: /nix/store/f3anvg741m7059d0gx42gr27fw5kg1qh-libiconv-109.100.2/lib/libcharset.1.dylib
Anyone has got it working? TY

After making my network simpler I thought I would fill the time by yak shaving my #Emacs config and throwing my muscle memory out of the window by trying to replace evil with #meow.
We will see if this is a good idea.

Second observation: why is the #Emacs pretest 31.0.90 double the size of previous versions?

I have just released version 1.0.0 of ESR: an R tree sitter mode for #emacs
It is the first version independent of #ESS although tree sitter can be paired with ESS.
