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.

1. #emacs (text editor)
2. #emacs (IDE)
3. #emacs (mail client)
4. #emacs (file browser)
5. Does #firefox count as a #linux application? If not, then #emacs (web-wowser)

Also:
- #emacs (IRC client)
- #emacs (note taking system)
- #emacs (terminal emulator)
- #emacs (git manager)
- #emacs (news reader)
- #emacs (RSS reader)
- #emacs (private password manager interface)

OK. I think I have made my point.

That depends entirely on the desktop environment I use. 😀

Generally, #Zim is the offline wiki-like note taking program that I need. I also live in #Orgmode often, although not in #Emacs.

Other than that, everything else like calendars, timers, contacts and such are hosted on #Nextcloud on my raspi home server.

Tinkering around with a FRACTRAN library I wrote in Common Lisp :^)

I was too lazy to add sequential functions, but it is possible if you assign a unique prime to each function (as it will permit only that function)

Prime numbers just happen to be a powerful way to express the concept of "distinct" objects. In this case, the "objects" are registers/memory addresses. Might try replacing primes with strings...
