I am 99% percent sure that for most of your use-cases Common Lisp has a way to do it and/or is flexible enough to change the language so that it is possible. You are talking about one of THE most malleable languages to exist. Literally a programmable programming language.

If it doesn't support Babel or Agenda, it loses 90% of the reason to use it.

The biggest strength is not the file format or basically the org mode markdown flavor. The strength comes from integrating it with all the other Emacs stuff. Org-babel for example, think of it as a suped up Jupyter notebook. And it integrates with the emacs calendar/agenda. The closest you can get is maybe Obsidian's Dataview plugin, but it absolutely pales in comparison to Emacs Org.

It is one of THE main reasons for me to use Emacs.

Hands down one of the best features in jj is undo. In Git, undoing things is always a bit of an open heart surgery, with different commands depending on what you fucked up. In jj? Just a simple jj undo, done. That alone is a killer feature.

Then having the whole thing being kinda agnostic by design to the backend system, that is also a sweet spot.

I can comfortably use jj locally without any of my teammates knowing that I use jj instead of git.

That would require thinking, and that is the very skill that LLMs are chipping away at.

Any form of demo you can post? Video or an image to run in a VM?

You can view my linkedin account there is alot there https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcus-bein-b7070a344/ if that is not ennough let me know and i will provide what ever you would like to see

And sorry im really new to this i am not what you would call a typical programmer

There’s https://www.amazon.com/SSA_based-Compiler-Design/dp/30308051...

This looks great! Added that and this https://www.amazon.com/Engineering-Compiler-Keith-D-Cooper/d... to my list

DRM is almost there. Try using Netflix on a *BSD, you can't. The DRM Netflix uses is not supported on BSDs.

This is a nit-pick, but if you picked the title that way to BE hyperbolic, I am not sure if that is the best thing to do for a technical discussion. It sets an internal opinion before even clicking on it. It subconsciously makes people go into the article with an already preconceived notion.

I wouldn’t call it a success it all. Almost managed to do was moving or forcing other software to get locked in. GDM, Podman, Pipewire…just to name a few.

Gnome is pretty guilty of adding hard dependencies on systemd, but podman and pipewire have worked fine for me without systemd... Not aware of any tight integration there that is mandatory (obviously quadlets, but you don't have to use that feature)

As another comment says, it's a success in the same way Windows has been a success.
