Spacemacs with Python layer Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Emacs bankruptcy

  Spacemacs (most stars & most contributors) and DoomEmacs (most commits) were 1st and 2nd, but I wanted to keep emacs key binding and so I chose spacemacs with emacs bindings. Source: about 1 year ago

• What "set and forget" flexible VIM setup would you recommend?

  Oh I see. Alternative, and I know it's not Vim, but Spacemacs (the project Spacevim is based on) is quite active. It comes with Vim emulation, some people say it's even better than Vim itself (evil-mode). Source: about 2 years ago

• What language is .spacemacs written in?

  Open the [https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs](repository) and check the languages used in the github page. It's emacs lisp. Source: about 2 years ago

• Making Emacs feels less 80s

  If you want a "modern" version of Emacs that "works" out of the box, I would recommend using a distribution like Doom Emacs or Spacemacs. I personally have never used Spacemacs as a daily driver, but it seems to look more modern. Doom Emacs is faster, and more minimal. Depends on your choice. Source: over 2 years ago

• [Blog post] Recommendations

  Also, if you don't wanna bother configuring all of emacs yourself, there are prebuilt distributions around like spacemacs or doom emacs as well. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Easiest way to install spacemacs on OSX 11.4 Big Sur?

  I installed emacs-plus using homebrew and afterwards, as you suggested, cloned the spacemacs repo, making sure to switch to the develop branch, prior to launching emacs for the first time. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Using libgccjit to make Emacs 2.3x to 42x faster [pdf]

  Really hope to see Emacs get more attention after `native-comp` branch merged to master. Recently, I have switched to Emacs full-time (first spacemacs[0], now doom[1]). So far, it has been a great experience. Spacemacs is a bit slow but with doom and `native-comp`, I rarely encounter any performance issues.
