Emacs Philosophy
Emacs is an app platform
It’s not just for editing
You know
it’s Turing complete
It can do most anything
There’s no need to write
In some sucky script
It’s got
Emacs Lisp
Don’t need nothing else
Compatibility
Extensibility
And modularity
Unix
philosophy
After you get your work done
Have fun and play some games
Don’t you know Emacs can do
Anything you want it to
There’s no need to write
In some sucky script
It’s got
Emacs Lisp
Don’t need nothing else
Compatibility
Extensibility
And modularity

Notes
- I created this song for good friend Ramin Honary, taking inspiration from his Emacs fulfills the UNIX Philosophy series of articles.
- I first tried creating lyrics using a variety of proprietary and local LLM models, but I was unhappy with all of the results and wrote the above lyrics myself. They are written for a friend, but any misrepresentations are my own fault.
