In other news - clojure-ts-mode 0.5 is out and it's epic! Some highlights include:

- the ability to font-lock custom def-like forms
- font-locking JS code embedded in #ClojureScript
- #Tree-sitter powered completion source that provides reasonable completions for the current file

#Clojure #Emacs

I worked on some modes for code completion via LLMs.

I still want to tweak the modes a bit more, before publishing them.

Here's some thoughts before I do that:

This blog post about how to do a simple thing in emacs is excellent. It has all the relevant information but isn’t overly long, and it has helpful GIF screencasts.

A screenshot of the text table: But first: “screenshots”! My time tracking interface now looks like this: | Orga | Mein Orga | Personal | Kanban (other) | | Proj | Apps | Scrum A | Scrum B | | | Reviews | clock in LAST | clock OUT | I can click each of the links to activate booking on the respective task, or switch to it. clock OUT obviously clocks out.

elisp snippet that configures ocaml environment for emacs

Ok, my first significant tinkering in #emacs – I reconfigured eglot's #ocaml settings to use dune developer preview to activate ocamllsp.

Caveat: ocamlformat doesn't work. I don't know how to ask eglot to use `dune tools exec ocamlformat`. Help appreciated.

I've been using beorg, and I hear Plain Org is also pretty nifty.

The obligatory "how I wrote this website" blog post:

For the use case of linking to a heading somewhere in one of my org-refile-targets, I use C-u C-c C-w (org-refile) and then an Embark action to insert the link to the heading: sachachua.com/blog/2024/10...

@peregrinator.site Thanks for sharing your #emacs config! Would you consider getting emacs.peregrinator.site/index.xml working, and would it be okay for me to add it to planet.emacslife.com so that other people can come across your Emacs posts easily? =)

That is one of the downsides of using a starter kit like Spacemacs, sorry... You'll probably need to look for Spacemacs-specific tutorials. Doom Emacs might also be a similar starter kit (if you're looking for Vim-like keybindings) with possibly a more active community.

The magic of iCal =)
