So it looks like the #sbcl project is getting sloppified. Very, very saddening to see. It feels like something is slipping through my fingers, so I thought I should say something publicly.

Evidently Christophe is not interested in shutting this crap down, and when I read his email about it, I pretty much gave up on saying something myself. His stance is hopelessly naïve, and this is only being shown now.

As soon as you get these idiots a gap, they'll wedge it open, and it's already happened.

I very sourly remember my own attempt at contributing to sbcl and getting shut down by Christophe, so I don't really care to get myself involved again -- I don't have the energy to be confrontational about it.

If course can be reversed on this, that would be very nice, but I neither have the "project clout" nor the mind to get into a bunch of fights and make myself even less popular to try and steer this ship into a more reasonable direction again.

For now, I guess a preliminary RIP to #sbcl.

I've been a #DoomEmacs user for some time, now, even having curated my own literate config out of their "static" files - along with all the extra stuff one adds to such a thing.

As one does, in the past I've also attempted to do my own #emacs config from scratch, usually falling into the "let's recreate doom!" hole, whether I wanted to or not (thus the reason I just went the route I did).

Over the past couple of months I've decided to - slowly - do the emacs bankruptcy declaration. Now, just to make things even more interesting I have decided against the use-package macro. Why? Because why not!

I've been using my scratch build for a month or so, haven't even opened my doom config up. It's been a great process, learning process, more understand of the process. It helps that I've been on a learn lisp quest for the past couple of years, too ( #CommonLisp, #sbcl, #clojure, #elisp of course).

The large emacs distros are great an an excellent way to find curated packages. Doom is even a really nice framework. Sometimes you just want to do your own thing.
