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
