What I am doing now

Updated: 16 June 2026

Back to Emacs

I constantly chop and change. The most recent sojourn was back to using vim and tmux and the ole command line tools of mine, such as lem, batnote and tj. I like these tools. But in wanting to use vim for all my text processing, I got stuck on how to do Clojure in vim. Fireplace is nice but it’s not as good as Cider in Emacs. Before I threw in the towel, I even installed Sublime Text. What came over me? I’m impressed it’s still going and it was much more nimble and pleasant to use than VS Code, but, no… Zed was quite nice but it’s very much about AI and I hate configuring stuff in JSON files. Bollocks. So, I am back in Emacs, using org, elfeed, mu4e, eww, Cider and all the rest of it and I’m happy.

Actually learning Clojure

Trying to learn and write Clojure under the spectre of LLMs. It’s not easy - I’m lazy. But writing Clojure is fun.
