Emacs Live is an opinionated, modular Emacs configuration framework focused on live coding with Overtone and Quil, organized into discrete 'packs'. It also serves as a solid generic Clojure hacking setup and a source of config snippets to reuse.

Use cases

  • set up emacs for live coding with overtone
  • get a preconfigured clojure development environment in emacs
  • organize my emacs config into modular packs
  • find emacs config snippets to steal for my own setup
  • start live coding music and visuals quickly
  • bootstrap a decent emacs config without manual tweaking

When to choose

  • you want a batteries-included Emacs setup for Clojure, Overtone, or Quil
  • you want a modular, structured starting point for your Emacs config
  • you are new to Emacs and want sensible defaults for live coding

When to avoid

  • you already have a carefully customized Emacs config and prefer incremental additions
  • you need a config for languages or workflows beyond Clojure/live coding
  • you require actively maintained tooling - the project is in maintenance mode with infrequent releases
