+## Notes and feedback
+
+- You can also use the menu from the keyboard with F10 and arrow keys. I turn the menu off, but I sometimes use it anyway with F10.
+- is that fvwm?
+- I disagree that searching for stuff in menus is easier than remembering commands. It's probably easier to learn, but not easier to use once you know them.
+  - worst of all: searching in a hierarchical effing hamburger
+  - Hamburger menus make sense on extremely small screens, not on other screens.
+  - yeah, I don't think updates are that granular
+- 2 hour Calc talk when?
+- I'm really wowed by your talk
+- this was such a great talk
+- I want casual support for more modes :) guess I need to do that, then
+- The enthusiasm around casual always surprises me, because all the stuff is documented and easy to find if you read the manual and use the help system :(
+  - and can remember it all! with casual, you don't *need* to
+  - (and in time, use will nail it into an aging memory)
+  - I don't use casual, but the obvious problem with the manual/help system is that you still have to memorize it all
+  - Even if it just means memorizing that it exists in the first place
+  - yeah. I use org like a savage because I only need it a few times a month and I can only remember about 5% of its capabilities...
+  - and I bet most people are like that for most modes they only use occasionally.
+  - You can look a lot of commands up using apropos, you don't need to memorise everything?
+  - But I also set transient-show-popup to nil
+  - apropos is so *clumsy* compared to transient though
+  - there's a nice benefit to having it there and callable by one more keystroke
+  - but then I grew up with WordStar and have long missed its menu/keybinding stuff
+  - Consider less commonly used commands like transpose-region or repunctuate-sentences.  How would the user think to even look for commands that do these things?  If they do remember, then they have to look up the keybindings every time they use them until it becomes muscle memory.  For rarely used commands like these it might never become muscle memory.
+- But a question of mine is do you use and make use of transient-default-level?
+- There's a repunctuate-sentences?!
+  - Case in point.  if repunctuate-sentences was in the casual editkit menu on text operations there would be no discovery or memorization issue.
+  - Yes, it is very useful when arguing for double-spacing.
+  - oooh, useful! I'm a newbie though, only been using emacs since 1992 so of course I hadn't discovered that yet :)
+  - in my case, overriding my single-space muscle memory when contributing to double-space-end GNU projects :)
+- that's a little like why I want some kind of embark/cmap thing too, so I can have friendly menus that are scoped to the type of thing at point
+- to the extent post-its still serve a function for much simpler things for most people, contextual surfacing of what's possible serves (and not the firehose, the select few) makes similar sense to me.
+- I want to push back on the point that Transient gives you discoverability for free.  Perhaps I am too much of a zoomer, but a big menu with a lot of options is just too much information at once for me.  The irony is that I often cannot use isearch/occur to search the text buffer as one would expect from Emacs to.
+  - Similarly, I do find that with my embark menus, I occasionally use C-h to then search for a command with completion
+  - I'm with you on the disadvantages of transient -- it breaks the unspoken Emacs contract of treating every buffer the same.  But that's unrelated to the fact that it helps many people with the discoverability and memorization issues.
+  - I think the poweruser vs casual user optimization was answered in the naming choice by Charles :)
+  - doesn't vertico also break this unspoken contract, karthik?
+  - For me that speaks to a deeper contradiction in Emacs..
+  - yes :( I much prefer vertico's predecessor for that reason, but it's dead :(
+  - to a much lesser extent.  The minibuffer prompt itself works like a regular buffer
+- if casual is not dedicated to powerusers, it's unfortunate that it does not help its users to become powerusers by disagreeing with some key bindings, i.e. it has different bindings from default emacs
+  - that argument wouldn't go far with the Doom/Spacemacs people though, with their "non-default" default bindings and such
+- I played around with an experiment to write a small alternative to Casual that would re-use my quick-help "framework" to extract recommended bindings from the current keymap.
+- NullNix: i mean, for vertico, this is just the default. you can easily tell vertico to use a buffer instead.
+- You can isearch inside the minibuffer prompt when using Vertico for instance
+  - can you?! new feature in the last year, perhaps? will look again
+  - not the first time my ignorance has torpedoed me
+  - ok i agree with your latest point but still minibuffer is different than other normal buffers imho :)
+  - Why is it different?  The minibuffer is just a buffer, no reason it should break the Emacs contract.
+  - Vertico does not take over the "event loop" like transient does -- not sure how to describe this correctly.  So most Emacs commands will work from inside Vertico, especially once you enable recursive-minibuffers
+  - I meant you can run regular emacs commands on the prompt "line" in the minibuffer when using Vertico
+- mct looks interesting...
+- karthik: M-x C-s does not behave like i-search in a normal buffer for me, using vertico
+- +1 for edebug, that would be great
+- wonders about gud and gdb interfaces -- would definitely benefit
+- (poke has already gained a transient menu system :) )
+- Doesn't Ediff present a help buffer at the bottom?
+- yes, but it's so small it's easily overlooked on modern big screens
+- yes, ironically ediff has an anemic one already, and I don't see people criticizing it
+  - Heh, modern screens means big, right?  On the other hand, on non-modern screens (small) transient buffers take over too much of the screen :)
+  - honestly I wonder if I should rejig ediff to use transient :)
+  - I can recommend (setopt ediff-window-setup-function 'ediff-setup-windows-plain)!
+- yeah, did that a loong time ago, but most people haven't...
+- The memory and cognitively impaired if merely due to aging thank you Charles, that's not just you
+- hear hear
+- there are also menus :)
+- If you use Avy, try using an Avy command when running find-file using Vertico.  You'll see Avy jump candidates in the current text of the minibuffer prompt, and you can jump there.
+- Indeed, but Charles addressed this in clarification of where Casual stands in the design space (vs menus, M-x, etc), namely context-specific keyboard-driven interactive use where some toggling of args can stick while you build a command (i.e. Transient)
+  - menus are also context-specific actually
+  - that said, I agree that transient is an alternative interface with various advantages
+  - it is just not the only way to learn Emacs commands
+  - And menus are also keyboard driven, as M-x tmm-menubar shows
+  - Indeed, I just wanted to point out that if ever Transient fills an interesting/useful point in design space, so those its generalized application to other modes (vs Magit)
+- that said, I agree that transient is an alternative interface with various advantages
+- it is just not the only way to learn Emacs commands
+- And menus are also keyboard driven, as M-x tmm-menubar shows
+- time for a keyboard upgrade, i can't be bothered to type C-c c or M-x anymore either

+- Some more motivation: avoid FFI to increase performance and allow
+  for more optimizations (including type annotations)
+
+- Love to hear reduction of reliance on C highlighted as a project goal, it's something I've brought up as a "third perspective" vs performance and language ergonomics in this weeks discussions
+- my other go-to discussion contrib is "is anyone watching what Larry Valkama is doing?"
+- is guile the core of gnu guix too ?
+  - yep!
+  - well, there's a bit of C++, bits of shell and make, yk -- more complex under the hood >u<
+  - but it's the core in spirit
+  - this is really interesting because this means gnu guix can use guile emacs and have better performance / features ? like define the system and emacs too with guile right? (I never used gnu guix but this talk makes me one to install it right now :P)
+  - I'm not sure there are really any implications for GUIX here, besides more eyeballs on Guile
+  - robin: there may be a guix connection in that object-capability-based secure IPC may enable guile-emacs to have fairly deep integration with other guile programs like guix and shepherd
+- Ahhhh~ I love to see tail-call optimization 😊
+- Is the goal to keep rebasing forever? Seems like a lot of work without little benefit
+  - Ah here's the slide addressing that...
+- Woohooo wasm via hoot!
+- i've def heard from a lot of guix users who are primarily interested in using one language everywhere, just on the edge of the performance and lang-interop disscusions
+- why would you want to use emacs in a web browser?
+  - maybe because you can use emacs shortcuts on it ?
+  - wasm != web browser
+  - there's wasi
+  - exactly, Larry mentions emacs on wasm in his readme too, but i try not to use the web as my example when talking about porting away from C bc i find alternatives more compelling
+  - though tbf, *i* would love to be able to hit a shortcut from org-roam-ui and have it open emacs in-browser like vscode on github
+  - Not convinced that browsers equipped with WASM and WASM-GC are actually more portable than Emacs today
+  - it sucks that browser shortcuts conflict with Emacs keybindings
+  - That's due to the browser, not the underlying engine tho
+- Ahhh you thought the CL bit would piss us off! Joke's on you, love CL ;)
+- not as much as you might expect! boot-9.scm is a great place to look to see the world being built up in parens
+- robin: thanks for watching my guile-emacs talk everyone! just one update, the -announce list may not be working properly yet, so please subscribe to guile-emacs-discuss if you want to stay informed about future guile-emacs work

+- lounge-204, there may be a guix connection in that object-capability-based secure IPC may enable guile-emacs to have fairly deep integration with other guile programs like guix and shepherd
+- robin: speaking of security, guile-emacs will have a very straightforward answer to problems like https://eshelyaron.com/posts/2024-11-27-emacs-aritrary-code-execution-and-how-to-avoid-it.html -- the application of the slogan "if you don't have it, you can't use it". ordinary elisp coding style doesn't necessarily allow for automatic detection of that kind of threat, but in that specific case we would use our CL dialect's reflection mechanisms to provide an environment in which the macroexpander, at least when used for code completion and similar, simply would not have the ability to produce side effects in the global environment

As long as it's a sole dev / community-inspired thing, and not a big corporate raider, i'm fine with non-libre software, if the standards are kept and no proprietary overhead stuff is modifying the core of org-mode (in this example for example).

-        works with citar.
--   Q: Most academic journals insist that papers are formatted in their
-    own custom LaTeX documentclass.  Does org-roam make it easy to do
-    that? (jmd)
-    -   A: No.  Makes a custom org latex class, to the import the cls;
-        then putting the template provided in the headers of the
-        document, or as needed in the body block.  Then there\'s manual
-        adaption.  When using LaTeX, you care much about the output of

+  - (not yet answered)
+- Q: I'd be interested how to start this journey of writing academic papers in Org-Roam when not having used  Emacs Org-Mode yet? Thanks!
+  - A: I saw this one before and I guess it would be possible to do that, to use Org documents only as the way that you are writing papers. Maybe you can just use that as a template that you're going to export. If you are familiar with LaTeX, it's going to be more useful, and maybe more convenient to work with inside of Emacs. But then I'm not 100% sure if that's... How do you say that? Maybe, in my opinion, the benefits of using org-roam in that setup is that you can link the things. For me, I'm using the search function for org-roam to just navigate between the files. So that's really some, a good advantage, but like, yeah, that could be, like Leo said in the presentation, that's some, maybe that's something you can start using org-mode with to write papers. So yeah.
+    - Agreed on opinion of working in org vs LaTeX
+- Q: How about connecting Emacs Org-Roam to Zotero? Is that something you have experience with?
+  - A: You could export your bibliography from Zotero to bibtex.
+  - Tip: check out the Better Bibtex plugin and its handly \"Keep
+    updated\" option - I do this selecting biblio.bib file in roam
+    folder as target

+  Because personally, I have struggled to do it from Emacs, although I
+  have wanted to for sometime. I see, then I am just lazy and don\'t
+  want to do it by hand -_-
+  - A: So the way I manage that is I just have a couple of .bib files that I edit by hand, where I put the reference when I find them. And yeah, I just showed very briefly in the presentation, but the way. One of the great thing with the org reference system is that if you have your bibliographic files that are connected to that system, you can just like, you can put the link, the reference to the paper, like click on it from your org note, and then you can open the PDF. You can open the DOI link to open the whatever publisher page. So no, I don't use Zotero and I just edit bib or bib files by hand in Emacs.
+    - I understand the appeal for having it integrated in the browser. Maybe that's something I should look up, actually, because right now I just like doing it very much by hand, like going on the publisher page and copying the bibtex block and just using putting that in my file. Yes, it can be not a very efficient workflow on that side. But after that, you're having the PDF and having it inside the note.

+- Very cool talk! 
+- So looking forward to a faster multi-threaded Emacs :D
+- Well, it does sound like we need some scale to turn this from a multi-year idea to a next-year idea
+- ruby shows one advantage here -- they're reimplementing bits of the ruby C core in ruby, and *speeding it up* because their new jitter then sees the insides of it and can optimize the hell out of it. ruby is, of course, famously slow... but not as slow as elisp :)
+  -  one wonders if emacs could benefit similarly...
+- one big problem with using gtk -- there is a *two-decade-old* unfixed bug in gtk where it keeps permanent references to the x server etc (IIRC, its wayland support has similar problems). this means a gtk emacs --daemon crashes if you connect to an x server and then close the x server down. this is.... unfortunate
+- yeah "of course" all new emacs efforts should be able to run elisp code; but it would be awesome if new lispy code could be written in scheme

-        not doing two nested (e.g.) change calls, what I called comp
-        steps.  tranducers shines while we need to do things which chain
-        things together; we can sometimes express ourselves more clearly
-        vs loop.  this may sound sounds like moving the goal-posts:
-        it's really about internal function calls, avoiding stepping
-        though each loop in ways which loop doesn't need to do, so loop
-        might "win".
-    -   Note: I'm comparing against cl-lib and dash \-- the cl-loop is
-        only for reference. I'm curious about the performance gap
-        between transducers and cl-lib/dash.  The number of function
-        calls is the same for cl-lib and dash and transducers.

+  steps.  tranducers shines while we need to do things which chain

+  vs loop.  this may sound sounds like moving the goal-posts:
+  it's really about internal function calls, avoiding stepping
+  though each loop in ways which loop doesn't need to do, so loop
+  might "win".
+  - Note: I'm comparing against cl-lib and dash \-- the cl-loop is

+
+- Q: Do we need a pre-written "t-" version for every already

+  - A:  already defined. This is basically fold. Some built-in functions like plus already function like reducers. It's a coincidence that they do that. But there's an example in the README. Max is one that does not act like that. For instance, maybe I could screen share later, but if you just type in plus one, If you call plus one in Emacs or Common Lisp, you get back one. It actually only needs one argument. If you only type plus, it actually gives you zero. Plus and multiple satisfy the API of reducers. But if you have one that doesn't, like the max function, and similarly, just type in plus as a function call, just plus with nothing else, and you'll see. No, as a function. zero will come out. This basically means it satisfies the reducer API. But a function like max does not. If you just type in max and then one, it won't work. Pardon me, it did. But if you type in max with nothing else, it wouldn't work. Hence, we have to wrap it in something like fold. I would say go look at the fold function.
+
+- Q: Is the compelling argument for transducers is that it's a better
+  abstraction? Seems like a lot of concerns/objections (while
+  pragmatically valid) are focused on implementation. Can this
+  abstraction allow for advances in implementation?
+  - A: Yes, what I've basically done is mostly followed the pattern of usage that exists in Clojure and in Scheme's SERP 171. In theory, the service level API is the same no matter where you're using this, and that's the idea. If you learn them in one list, you should be able to use them everywhere. Then what it's actually doing under the hood is free for us to change around. My implementations are mostly based on the scheme with a few alterations here and there. And in the Common Lisp case, like adding some Common Lisp isms to improve usage like UX a little bit. But overall, we are free to do whatever we want internally to speed up performance. I just haven't done that work.
+- Q: is there a path for transducers to enable elisp processing of otherwise excessively huge data ets as if just a normal Emacs "buffer" (i.e. but just pulling one thing at a time so essentially stream-like under the hood), with none of the usual issue when a traditional buffer structure?
+  - (not yet answered)
+- Q: So the "reducer API" means that the function accepts a variable number of arguments in a monoidal way?
+  - that's what I gathered
+- Q: From your investigations and tests so far, do you think there would be the necessity of transducers to eventually go down into the C level code for things like using them to solve "infinitely-big" buffer-like interfaces and such?
+  - A: Yeah, like, if we really wanted to go that hardcore, maybe there's some like C level stuff that we could you know, significant demand for such a thing. You know, so far there hasn't been such demand, but maybe there will be in the future. Yeah, perhaps there's some custom stuff we could do.
+- Q: why does the reducer have to sometimes be a custom function, but other times just something like #'+?
+  - it depends on if that reducer function needed special input or not
+- Q: do you have FSF copyright assignment? it is nice to get low-level libraries like transducers on ELPA so other copyright-assigned packages can use them (and so they can be included in Emacs when they reach wide adoption)
+  - transducers is on MELPA
+- Q: Is that #' business for some lisps and not others the lisp-1/lisp-2 distinction?
+  - Sharp quote refers to (symbol-function 'my-symbol) in a lisp2
+  - yes, it emphasizes using the "function" associated with the symbol (if there's one in the "function slot" for the symbol) as opposed to some "variable"-type value
+  - (and in this case pkal is not asking about the sharp quote but a t-prefixed function as opposed to a standard function like +)
+  - that's because of the separate namespace for function symbols?
+  - function rather than symbol-function to be extra-nitpicky (to accomodate lambda forms)
+  - If I remember correctly, single quote (') does not respect when a function symbol is overridden by a let, but (pound quote) #' does?
+  - yes, my question was about the t- prefix.
+  - "let"s only bind the symbol value slot, not the function slot.
+  - yes, iiuc; in effect, it's sort of an early-binding/late-binding distinction
+  - My bad. Should've specified flet.
+  - @can't speak for the elisp case, but in the clojure case using things in transducer form has a slightly different "typing" shape as you'd expect and may require a wrapper if a function can't be used as is and such, though I missed the context and that may not be relevant to your point
+- Q: Question about how the transducers video was made? Did you use Reveal.js? Do you have a pointer to the html hosted presentation? How did you generate the content for Reveal?
+  - So the presentation itself was done with RevealJS from Org Mode. So as you saw, I had a raw Org Mode buffer, which was which was the presentation itself, which I then just exported with a few certain settings, a few customizations. And then for screen recording, I used OBS, which worked flawlessly on Arch Linux. I used Sway, Wayland, and all of that. So all of that just worked, which was very impressive. Where do the HTML host the presentation? I don't have that presentation hosted anywhere.
