04 December 2024 Awesome elisp

A few days ago, redditor gollyned asked about best practices: developing on top of modern elisp packages. It reminded of my modern Emacs lisp libraries post, which I shared with them.

While my post is roughly 4.5 years old, these days I continue to reach out to the likes of seq.el, map.el, subr-x.el and let-alist.el on a regular basis. My post also shared some great third party options. Maybe my post could use an update? Happy to take suggestions.

A few days later, I ran into awesome-elisp, which aggregates a ton of resources to check out. Funnily enough, I had bookmarked it a long while ago and simply forgot about it. On a somewhat related note, when I reviewed my old list of bookmarks, I didn't have Yoo Box's it is not hard to read Lisp code bookmarked, which changed the way I viewed and read elisp code (spoiler alert, as a tree). I remember how well this approach also translated to languages like Objective-C, enabling me to inline more things without worrying too much.

In any case, the reddit post was another reminder for me to go and check out some of those bookmarks I never got to read, including the awesome-elisp one.
