I've been maintaining Emacs Solo for a while now, and I think it's time to talk about what happened in this latest cycle as the project reaches its two-year mark.
For those who haven't seen it before, Emacs Solo is my daily-driver Emacs configuration with one strict rule: no external packages. Everything is either built into Emacs or written from scratch by me in the lisp/ directory
I don't think I'd renounce to the comfort of some external packages (Magit and Slime, for example), but I appreciate the exercise, and I see the benefit it could bring, such as only relying on code that went through the quality standards of the official release.
