It'd be great to use EAF to offload processing to Common Lisp, for example. + - A: You're able to use Python & JavaScrpt/Vue to extend on top of Elisp, it is so far enough (Python for Qt apps and JS for web apps). Currently I don't see a clear advantage of using Common Lisp as well, but there could definitely be a support in theory. +- Q2: is there an eaf-app that's not a bootstrapping nightmare? (having Vue as a dependency, eg) + - A: I don't fully understand what you mean by "bootstrapping nightmare", all these dependencies are system dependencies that you install like any other system dependency, it doesn't slow the Emacs startup nor the system startup. But if you're asking for an app suggestion with lightweight dependencies without JS or Vue dependencies, the popular EAF Browser and EAF PDF Viewer are cool app options. +- Q3: Are there security implications to having a browser in emacs? + - A [opalvaults]: With how Emacs deals with things like GPG/pass/etc. I feel like it's probably as secure as you make it? + - A: [matthewzmd] the browser application is independent from emacs itself, you're using a browser in emacs, but the browser is not actually *in* emacs. The browser is QtWebEngine, a modified Chromium without Google stuff, it is as safe as a Chromium can be. +- Q4: maybe i misunderstood, but is every eaf app essentially embedded QT? + - A: yes, it's built upon qt-webengine + - A: Yes, it uses PyQt5 and it's essentially painting the Qt frame on top of emacs, simulating a buffer. EPC is used for Elisp <-> Python <-> JS communication so that you can extend Emacs in various langauges + - Q: I guess/hope this is using qtwebengine, not qtwebkit? + - A: right, qtwebengine. If you wanna dig more into the internals of EAF, I suggest you to read this part of the Wiki (https://github.com/emacs-eaf/emacs-application-framework/wiki/Hacking) or my talk from last year (https://emacsconf.org/2020/talks/34/) +- Q5: Can the EAF dependencies be made into dynamically loadable modules for Emacs, so there will be no need to rebuilt Emacs? + - A: There is no need to rebuilt Emacs, they're simply dependencies that you can install using the system package managers (pacman, apt, etc), npm install and pip install + IRC nick: matthewzmd - Q1: Any plans for supporting other languages?
