A batteries-included Emacs configuration bundle maintained since 2000, providing sensible defaults and rich language support for web and functional programmers. It bundles completion (corfu/vertico), LSP via eglot, syntax checking, and popular tools like magit, projectile, and org-mode.

Use cases

  • set up a full-featured Emacs editor config quickly
  • get Emacs configured for Ruby on Rails development
  • configure Emacs with LSP for Haskell and OCaml
  • use Emacs for Clojure with Cider and nRepl
  • find a good starting Emacs config for web developers
  • enable autocompletion and syntax checking in Emacs

When to choose

  • you want a battle-tested, maintained Emacs config out of the box
  • you work with the supported languages like Ruby, Python, Clojure, or Haskell
  • you're on macOS, Linux, or Windows and want a config that works across all three

When to avoid

  • you prefer building your own minimal Emacs configuration from scratch
  • you use a different editor like VS Code or Vim
  • you need a config tailored to languages not covered by this bundle
