<cwebber>mhcat: ah.... formatting macros to look the way you want them... look at .dir-locals.el in guix for an example, though I always find dir-locals to be a little bit spooky <cwebber>emacs is a fairly non-ocap and very ambient operaing system ;P <mhcat>agree wrt dir-locals - though sometimes having to play nicely with others requires project-local config that can be .gitignored, so sometimes useful <mhcat>I just put things in my config for the most part <mhcat>cwebber: turns out it was just `with-vat` today, but I'm sure there will be more soon enough <dthompson>yeah .dir-locals.el is... not great, but tis what we have <jfred>I'm imagining a Goblins text editor but replicating what emacs can do would be a massive undertaking haha <chitochi>what would the goblins part look like? :O <chitochi>like sharing file for collaborative editing? <chitochi>emacs + goblins sounds incredible honestly, ERC could be done so easily with this! <jfred>Was more just thinking an editor with an ocap-safe plugin system, vs. emacs where packages can do absolutely anything right away <jfred>Collaborative editing would be cool too of course <chitochi>ok i see, that's a really interesting idea <cwebber>it's definitely come up many times in terms of things an engineer will mutter about internally. but yeah. big undertaking, and not on the roadmap for obvious reasons. <cwebber>Hoot + Guix also means that the kind of ease of building "electron apps" but with scheme and fully reproducible and without the nightmare that is npm/yarn/etc also becomes possible <chitochi>hoot is so cool, before seing it i wanted something similar
