Erlmacs – a script to update your .emacs file for Erlang development

erlmacs automatically configures and updates your .emacs file with support for the emacs mode that is included with Erlang/OTP. It frees you from having to locate the installation directory of Erlang/OTP and its bundled emacs mode. It is an escript that only depends upon Erlang/OTP and Emacs. Note: There is not much in the way of error checking at this moment, but it does make a backup of your .emacs files before any destructive operations.

In plain words

Erlmacs is an escript that automatically configures Emacs for Erlang development by updating the .emacs file with support for Erlang/OTP's bundled emacs mode. It eliminates the need to manually locate Erlang installation directories. The tool requires only Erlang/OTP and Emacs to run and creates backups of .emacs files before making changes.

  • Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
