Calling this pivotal macro "def-package!" has frequently been a source
of confusion. It is a thin wrapper around use-package, and it should be
obvious that it is so. For this reason, and to match the naming
convention used with other convenience macros/wrappers, it is now
use-package!.
Also changes def-package-hook! -> use-package-hook!
The old macros are now marked obsolete and will be removed when straight
integration is merged.
Still needs to be documented, but includes support for the following
languages:
+ C/C++/ObjC
+ Go
+ Java
+ Javascript
+ OCaml
+ PHP
+ Python
+ Ruby
+ Scala
+ Swift
+ HTML/CSS
Relevant to #460, #716, #1186
+ :map arguments shouldn't be quoted
+ :localleader keys default to all states in the absence of state
modifiers. This is preferred, rather than restricting their use to
normal state.
+ :map* is deprecated (there is no difference between it and :map)
+ Uses alist variable to store config, rather than hooks
+ Added check for installed docsets in +lookup/documentation
+ Set docsets for various language modules (c-mode, c++-mode, css-mode,
scss-mode, sass-mode, web-mode, go-mode, racket-mode, emacs-lisp-mode,
js2-mode, rjsx-mode, typescript-mode, rust-mode, and php-mode)
+ Made *eww* popups for dash docsets larger
+ Renamed set-docset! => set-docsets! (set-docset! is aliased to
set-docsets!)
+ New +lookup/install-docset alias
+ :popup -> set-popup-rule!
+ :popups -> set-popup-rules!
+ :company-backend -> set-company-backend!
+ :evil-state -> set-evil-initial-state!
I am slowly phasing out the setting system (def-setting! and set!),
starting with these.
What are autodefs? These are functions that are always defined, whether
or not their respective modules are enabled. However, when their modules
are disabled, they are replaced with macros that no-op and don't
waste time evaluating their arguments.
The old set! function will still work, for a while.
Now that we are loading package autoloads files (as part of the
generated doom-package-autoload-file when running make autoloads), many
:commands properties are redundant. In fact, many def-package! blocks
are redundant.
In some cases, we can do without a config.el file entirely, and can move
into the autoloads file or rely entirely on package autoloads.
Also, many settings have been moved in their module's autoloads files,
which makes them available ASAP; their use no longer depends on module
load order.
This gained me a modest ~10% boost in startup speed.
Much of this config is done in package autoloads, and now that
auto-mode-alist is cached in doom-package-alist (after reading autoload
files), we can save some space by removing redundant config.
+ enable lexical-scope everywhere (lexical-binding = t): ~5-10% faster
startup; ~5-20% general boost
+ reduce consing, function calls & garbage collection by preferring
cl-loop & dolist over lambda closures (for mapc[ar], add-hook, and
various cl-lib filter/map/reduce functions) -- where possible
+ prefer functions with dedicated opcodes, like assq (see byte-defop's
in bytecomp.el for more)
+ prefer pcase & cond (faster) over cl-case
+ general refactor for code readability
+ ensure naming & style conventions are adhered to
+ appease byte-compiler by marking unused variables with underscore
+ defer minor mode activation to after-init, emacs-startup or
window-setup hooks; a customization opportunity for users + ensures
custom functionality won't interfere with startup.
