Excellent video, great pacing. Thank you for contributing cmake-ide! Looking forward to reading your blog.

Waited a century for this. Thanks man !

No need for cmake. Just use bear to generate compile_commands.json from any build system. Using `bear make -j16` I generated compile_commands.json for linux kernel and can now navigate kernel source easily.

GREAT PACKAGE! I just finished installing and configuring cmake-ide and its dependencies. It took me only one hour and it works like a charm.

Using emacs can be painfull in the beggining but believe me its worth in the long run, after you get used to it you will regret not switching early

[SergeRibalchenko]

Nobody mention that in Emacs you can do whatever you want with just The Keyboard, so that you don't need a mouse or a freaking touchpad, and this usually means you can work faster. I used to be an emacs hater, pro vim user, until I gave it a try almost ten years ago. Now I regret I didn't make the switch earlier.
But.
You need to know some lisp or you will hate it.

But why does they use clang at oracle and not gcc ?

[TheBuilder]

This Vim/Emacs debate is some kind of hazing ritual new programmers are subjected to until they start using visual studio at work

[jpal]

Can it do anything sensible when you're writing templates? I mean, as you create a template, but don't (yet) have its instantiations, you can't tell which are its members etc. by compiling ... can you?

[marcjukil]

12:50 BOOM, preprocessed. "drop the mic" 😏

[raf.nogueira]

I'm trying to learn emacs, but this... this is madness lol

[canmetan]

Can you do these stuff with Vim as well? Vim is even lighter then emacs.

[chester]

The way I see it is that most of ppl don't even like to use their brain anymore. The best way to sell emacs is to wrap most of the stable feature into a closed colourful software and sell it. Trust me people will love to buy it.

[AbhimanyuAryan]

where is your .dotfiles(configuration files)....version control clone

[naranja-intimidante]

Well, I can use two stones to make fire too, but I have a lighter.

[burakcopur]

If It wasn't for org-mode, I would uninstall emacs long ego.

[battlebuddy]

I like vim or just simple text editor like atom then emacs tbh

[marcpanther]

I get all of that and more out of the box with SlickEdit. Yes, it's pricey, but it's a better investment than trying to pull in various plugins. Time vs. Money.

[joestevenson]

bet any money he's wasted more time writing and debugging his config than it could ever save him.
