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!

    I think I have to disagree, if they want things that work and are full-featured out of the box - then the community packages like lsp-mode and Company and Swiper are much better alternatives 🤷🏼

      Interesting, I’ve had the exact opposite experience, so maybe both or our view points are at least somewhat anecdotal.
