Emacs package names tend to be odd, internally consistent and memorable. Great example: Kill or Bury Alive

What would you consider to be fundamental computing rights? Some suggestions here: http://t.co/w3Ex9JuBjk

Why tooling is poised to make the jump to hyperspace https://vimeo.com/76141334 (fantastic critique of programming methods today by @raganwald)

Are there any IDEs/editor plugins that show GitHub comments on commits? Online discussion of code is useful and should be accessible.

The GT Spotter is a fantastic demonstration of Smalltalk. E.g. extending your IDE tools to handle an address book! http://t.co/zJqKDMYsEh

It's really exciting to see Clojurescript is bootstrapping and enabling new REPL possibilities: http://t.co/NqYuXH4Qp9

Company is wonderful for Emacs completion.Its API (often just setting company-backends) is great for tuning completion sources per language.

Does @pharoproject rhyme with 'sparrow' or is it pronounced 'pharoah'?

Great demo video of development with Pharo Smalltalk: https://youtu.be/HOuZyOKa91o (Smalltalk is unusual, videos are the best way to get started)

I'm beginning to think it's impossible to create a window manager with overlapping at least a few useful Emacs shortcuts.

You cannot and should not separate languages from their tool ecosystems. Tooling in static/dynamic/image languages: http://t.co/EgK8VxWqHN

Deeply impressed by the SVN-git mirroring tool: http://t.co/rQjAO2lLU0 It works really well, and its support team are actual devs!

Statically typed OO languages with curly brace syntax are the 4 chord song of language design. Push the boundaries and explore!

Magit 2.1 is out! https://raw.githubusercontent.com/magit/magit/master/Documentation/RelNotes/2.1.0.txt (@magit_emacs is the gold standard for great Emacs integration of tools)
