In the Spring of 2025, I taught a course about interactive programming environments to a small group of students. For various reasons, I have to take down the official web page for that site, which includes slides that may be of interest to people who care about these things. I have therefore chosen to publish those slides on Lost Bits under a Creative Commons License.

It struck me the other day that there is probably more variation and diversity among different users’ Emacs configurations than among the configurations of any other editor. Users are able to change almost any aspect of the way that Emacs functions, with easy access to clear documentation explaining how it works right now, and how you can change it. This means that each instance of Emacs ends up a unique shape, like an old tool with a wooden handle worn down into the shape of its owners’ habitual grasp. That simile doesn’t quite work, because Emacs users work hard and deliberately to shape their Emacs tools to fit their needs, so it is more than just passive wear.
