FYI - my primary Mastodon handle is @bbatsov@hachyderm.io

I'll see if I can merge my multiple accounts down the road, or I'll just kill the ones I no longer use.

If you're into Clojure, Emacs and tree-sitter you'll probably be excited to learn that recently Danny Freeman started working on a new Clojure major mode, that's using tree-sitter (see https://github.com/clojure-emacs/clojure-ts-mode).

We're a long way from any releases, given that even Emacs 29 is not completed yet (and is a hard requirement for the new mode), but I'm optimistic that in a few years clojure-ts-mode will replace the current clojure-mode and make you love Emacs even more!

On the gloomiest of days (the Winter solstice) I'm happy to bring a ray of light and a bit joy to you with the release of CIDER 1.6 ("Buenos Aires")! Our first release in 4 months is packed with cool improvements (see https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/releases/tag/v1.6.0) and is dedicated to my favorite city in South America and all my Argentinian friends!

Small announcement: I've decided make bbatsov@hachyderm.io my primary account, which means I'll mostly stop using this account and I'll treat it as a backup for times when Hachyderm is down or whatever.

RuboCop 1.41 is out with a lot of small improvements https://github.com/rubocop/rubocop/releases/tag/v1.41.0 Enjoy!

P.S. We're still aiming to do one more release before the end of the year to celebrate the upcoming release of #Ruby 3.2.

I'm wondering how many people try to stick exclusively with the "theme" of their Mastodon instance? (e.g. on Fosstodon you write only about FOSS) That's part of the reason why I have accounts on several instances, but it certainly adds a bit of overhead when using Mastodon.

Believe it or not - I've got interests other than Emacs!

Now that I have so many Mastodon accounts it's kind of hard to decide which one I like the most! :D Choices are complicated!

TIL that a filename without its extension is called "stem" is some programming languages https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13362022/what-do-you-call-a-file-name-without-the-extension I always thought of this as "filename-sans-extension", but it's good to know there is a shorter term.

I think I've decided that I don't like the "Advanced" Mastodon UI. Simple is better. If only there was a way to move this input box exactly where it is in Twitter that'd be priceless.

I'm wondering how financially sustainable large-scale Mastodon is going to be all. Most server admins these days (especially those with popular instances) are complaining that their server bills went through the roof (not to mention the efforts related to moderation) and experience has taught me that relying on donations rarely works out. That's going to be a big challenge to overcome.

Today I got reminded of https://programmingpraxis.com/contents/about/ Not as famous as AoC, but certainly a lot of fun.

Emacs 29 is more or less feature-complete and is going to be one of the most exciting Emacs releases in recent years. Built-in LSP support (via eglot), tree-sitter, wayland and plenty of other goodies are coming your way https://blog.phundrak.com/emacs-29-what-can-we-expect/

Exciting times ahead!
In Emacs we trust!

These days I'm obsessed with "Hvili" by Kalush & Jerry Heil. Check it out!

It's nice to finally see what Mastodon is all about. I'll certainly need a bit of time to get the hang of it, but it feels nice to be using a FOSS microblogging platform for a change and to live in a world without ads, engagement boosting, etc.

I was also pleasantly surprised that a few people who I know started to follow me here before I could figure out how to use the UI. 😀

Hello, world!
