~SBCL~ is the current leading open-source common lisp compiler. It requires any libraries you want to be availble to be installed using withPackages. I really should install this per-project using direnv, rather than globally. I think it may work today, but I think I want to start using ~SBCL~ for scripting / exploratory development. So for now, it stays global.
~SBCL~ is the current leading open-source common lisp compiler. It requires any libraries you want
to be availble to be installed using withPackages. Many lisp projects I work on have this overridden
in a ~nix~ devshell I think I'd also like to use it for scripting / exploratory development, though,
so I'm installing it globally with a useful set of libraries. I should curate this somewhat
carefully so it doesn't get carried away...

[[https://github.com/str4d/rage][~rage~]] is a rust implementation of [[https://pkg.go.dev/filippo.io/age][~age~]]. It implements a simple system for generating public /
private encryption keys, and encrypting / decrypting files with those keys. [[https://github.com/str4d/age-plugin-yubikey][~age-plugin-yubikey~]], as
the name implies, allows generating and storing ~age~ keys on a Yubikey. ~rage~ is required over
~age~ when using ~age.el~, because it supports ~pinentry~. That allows it to prompt for yubikey pins
using a dialog, rather than a command line prompt.

I find Emacs to be almost unusable on a normal keyboard unless there's some way to avoid all the modifier keys. I tried Evil mode first. But although I love Vim, it just seemed to be hiding too much of the Emacs native functionality. The keybindings were also much harder to configure. I tried God mode, which has the benefit of re-using the normal Emacs keybindings and commands. It was annoying, though, because some read-only buffers (like magit buffers) have their own "normal-mode" commands that don't use modifiers. It felt jarring to switch to "insert mode" to use those keys. It's also hard to repeat sequences of M-f, M-b, etc. I could have made a ton of repeat maps, but I'm worried that having too many repeat maps will also be annoying (I'll have to explicitly cancel them more frequently). In the end, I opted for Devil mode. It avoids modifier keys, and has its own devil-mode-only repeat maps that don't interfere when using normal modifier key sequences.
