Is there a way to specify (in a dotfile is what I'm assuming) a set of brew install instructions?

This feels like it will be very important for the Emacs world:
EmacsConf 2020 - 08 - Building reproducible Emacs - Andrew Tropin (abcdw)

I will start with the bold statement that Emacs configuration is almost the same as system configuration… It's more about Emacs being integrated with so many tools inside the environment.

I believe Twitter:@andrewtropin has really hit the nail on the head with his statement of the problem. This is the crux of the Emacs adoption problem.

Is one variant of the solution not simply Dockerfiles? Also, if licensed under MIT/BSD/Apache it could diffuse into the corporate world. By "simply Dockerfiles" I'm thinking about a preconfig'd Emacs "compute appliance" container, possibly on localhost. On init, start Emacs as server and network to any data to be edited. Then essentially just ssh in.

Such builds would be a painless way for someone to try an Emacs setup.

• https://github.com/emacs-typescript/typescript.el
• lsp-docker-full

• Does .emacs get added to this repo? I think so.
  • Actually, no. It should be a separate repo completely
  • That repo gets cloned to local host and sym-linked to .emacs.d/
    • So, migrate from .emacs => .emacs.d/init.el s.t. the init file is also in the Emacs repo
  • Would provide an emacs state/context which could migrate between (potentially virtual) machines.

Apple moving macOS from bash to zsh will make bash the poster child for "don't go GPL." Too bad, I liked bash.

• Translate .bashrc to .zshrc

System Crafters gave me the idea.

• Get a readme going that document other set up required. Or, if it's short enough just comment in the lisp.

I was originally just thinking TIDE (which does, yes, use LPS) but a Reddit thread changed my mind:

lsp means "save me the hassle of configuring support for every language". I highly suggest trying out lsp-mode with typescript-language-server. Personally I've migrated to lsp for coding c/c++, java, javascript, python, and dart (basically every language I use).
If you need a pointer to an example config, here's mine.
