The Road to Emacs Maximalism

Pretty cool. I love Emacs. The main reason is because Emacs is the editor that has taught me the most about computers and software.<p>However, with the rapid rise of large language models and AI-driven development tools, how might Emacs evolve to seamlessly integrate these technologies—such as AI-assisted refactoring, code completion, and knowledge management—while still preserving its core values of extensibility, user freedom, and community-driven innovation?<p>Other tools seem to have better AI integration. I might be wrong.

Emacs maximalism is the way to go. I spend most of my free time at my job re-implementing all of the companies internal tooling in Elisp, along with integrations using the Jira&#x2F;Gitlab API, and also random automations that I need&#x2F;want.<p>Then there is org-mode containing a record of everything I worked on with all my notes, executable scripts, all my time tracking information, org-roam notes, auto-generated request libraries using the verb package, literate API request documents for each micro service, etc.<p>It&#x27;s such a good feeling when every tool can interact with any other tool in a variety of ways and that in a few keypresses you can modify and fix anything.
