IDK if this is the right place to ask this question, but is this project targeted towards Japanese-speaking people? Because I'd love to follow the project and maybe contribute, when I find a second of free time, but the project seems to be in Japanese... Pretty important stuff like changelog is completely in Japanese. Is it meant to stay like that, or will the project become more English as it grows?

Hi everyone. I’ve been using Lem as my “daily driver” for about a week now. I’m liking it a lot, though I miss a lot of things in emacs, I’m prepared to do a little work to live in the common lisp world instead of the emacs lisp world ;-) Anyhow, it’s nothing fancy, but I’ve got my .lem directory in a public repo so you can see what I’m poking at ;-) https://github.com/tealeg/dot-lem
I'm really new here but I was hoping to find some discussion about adding a GUI to lem

This would be a
frame in emacs lingo
I'm just having a problem installing it, currently running Artix. The error seems to be due to the fact that
cl-ppcre-unicode is a .asd file, and not a directory containing packages.lisp, even though packages.lisp is in my /usr/share/common-lisp/source/cl-ppcre directory

Or can we still do it with lem?
This has been brought up a few times before, though I am a new member here so I can't really speak to the reasons of anyone else
That's where I'm getting most of my info from (a few reddit threads as well)
There's another issue I'm thinking of but can't find
Can u share those reddit threads?
The reddit threads would be crossposts in r/emacs but you'd have to wade through lots of comments (of which I can only remember a gist)
hey guys I'm having some issues getting lem to remove trailing whitespace before saving a buffer. I was pretty sure this was correct but it doesn't work. Am I missing something?
(setf (lem:variable-value 'lem-base:before-save-hook)
(list (lambda (buf)
(lem:delete-trailing-whitespace buf))))
I’ve added some support for Vale to my config, which is quite nice if you’re working with text. I’ve also been trying to implement something akin to emacs’s Flyspell, but that’s been tricky - I’ll get there eventually though. I’m wondering if I should push these things out to separate repositories when they become “usable” - like the modeline clock, or the vale support. I could make it available via quicklisp or even propose a PR on lem itself.
Is the lsp extensible, seems all the servers supported are hard coded
hi, i'm planning to integrate lem as an embedded editor in a certain soon-be-public tool - can someone guide me through frontend development part of lem?
i looked through wiki and sources for existing frontends (incl) - this wasn't a straightforward journey
i probably can reverse-engineer the api, but if someone can help me boostrap this process this will help me greatly
the first question will probably be smth like this - where should i start that will help me to untie lem's frontend dev? :)
alright, i figured out some bits: important bits of implementation is lem-if:invoke to handle loops, lem-if:print and print-modeline to display buffers, and lem:send-event to pass input into lem but also to invoke callbacks within editor loop
this seems enough to bootstrap my frontend, but if you have suggestions and gotchas i'm all ears ;p
if you meant you are curious about lem frontend i'm working on rn - it won't be a native one
capi fronted of lem seems to use native guis
I didn't try it, but here is an OpenGL frontend: https://github.com/gregcman/lem-opengl
Probably you'll find something useful there.
