Learnt today that core Emacs contains a misc.el. Crikey! It's small at least.

"Whitespace[..]behaves the same as any other undefined var[..]This has potential to cause hard to track down errors" http://t.co/vzlLRdzoBS
There must be a market for a programming language where all the examples can fit in a tweet.
What is Emacs still missing relative to Zmacs? http://t.co/8ZsHIsYR2K (some distros still package Emacs without sources!)
Nom, a byte oriented, streaming, zero copy, parser combinator library in Rust
http://t.co/MLsvAozIRV impressive, also shows the tricky bits
Depending on multiple versions of LLVM can be very difficult. The GHC developers are looking at only supporting one: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/ImprovedLLVMBackend
I've heard several Emacs folks say you should read the whole info manual (Emacs/elisp) once. Agree/disagree?
"Windows kernel coding typically uses Hungarian notation for type names, but not for variable names." Crikey, new one on me.

https://github.com/klutzy/nadeko is an extraordinary Rust syntax extension that compiles code to constant time assembly. Remarkable and very useful.
I'm gradually transitioning to helm.It's possible to get a 'big minibuffer' style UI, and the filtering is nice even if you've mastered ido.
... although I've never met anyone who had internalised all Emacs builtins. Emacs is all about continually learning.
A sign of ag.el's success is that users are learning its commands before occur.el! https://github.com/Wilfred/ag.elissues/88
Emacs tip of the day: C-m is the same as RET, and C-i is the same as TAB. Give them a try, they can be more comfortable to type.
