This is my Emacs configuration file. My main goal is to make it as fast as possible while keeping it feature-full development environment.
I mainly develop in C# inside Unity, C/C++, Html/Css/Js/Ts and shell scripts sometimes. Git is my preffered versioning system.
NOTE: On Windows preferable fork of emacs is from kinneq. It supports titlebar coloring and native compilation. It is not specifically fork but tools to build emacs with them but author kindly provides compiled packages.
- [ ] Magit support
- [ ] LSP support
- [ ] Code completion
- [ ] Improved org documents
- [ ] OrgRoam or Logseq intergration
Early init is relatively new file which loads before init.el and even gui. It can be used to disable gui elements before they are even able to peek.
;;; early-init.el -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-Maximize garbage collection at startup. The GC eats up quite a bit of time, easily doubling startup time. The trick is to turn up the memory threshold as early as possible.
Then after emacs is started restore these variables to reasonable sizes, becouse not doing so may cause some rendering issues and slowdowns.

straight loads only packages which i specify and not like
package.el, which loads everything if is installed. This speeds up
boot times drastically.
Straight also allows me to pin packages to specific commits which is usefull if package breaks at some point.
