May I recommend… understanding Emacs's patterns
Summary
A Deep dive into Emacs patterns, focusing on Incremental Completing Read (ICR) and recognize-dispatch, and how Embark and language servers enhance extensibility. The piece argues that a universal text-buffer substrate and a Lisp-like extension model enable one interface to drive many tools, enabling powerful, streamlined workflows in Emacs. It also reflects on how these patterns can exist in other editors given similar conditions and community-driven development.
