Hello!
Hi, emacsers!
I just joined on the quasi-invite of![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
vlion. I had mentioned doing some stuff in elisp and they asked "Are you a member of the emacs community on dw?" and then I came to check it out.
Having recently switched back to Linux as a full-time development environment from OS X (don't ask), I was back to using Emacs for writing software, and found out how much I have missed it. (Was using Textmate on the Mac).
There was one feature that Textmate did really well, that stock Emacs only does partially well: snippet insertion and customizing. I found a snippet tool, called yasnippet that pretty much emulates the feature from Textmate, so much so that you can convert and import your Textmate snippets into yasnippet.
Now I feel right at home again in Emacs and am enjoying myself so much!
