load!'s first argument is no longer a symbol (that will cause
void-variable errors now) to save on unnecessary interning and simplify
compile-time logic. It accepts any valid form that evaluates to a string
now.
If you use load!, you need to change its argument to a string!
e.g. (load! +my-module) => (load! "+my-module")
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.
This commit adds bin/doom, which acts as the middle man that make once
was (and will stay for a while, though the documentation will shift away
from using it). It does everything the previous make interface did, but
is faster and more flexible. bin/doom should eventually replace the
makefile.
bin/doom also makes it easier to run Doom outside of ~/.emacs.d and
~/.doom.d with, for example:
bin/doom run -p ~/.other.doom.d/ -e ~/.other.emacs.d
bin/doom.cmd is included for Windows users, but I don't recommend using
it yet. It hasn't been tested nor have I ever written a batch script
before.
Also update init.example.el with new defaults.
:defer now supports a hook, a cons cell with (SYMBOL . INTEGER) where
SYMBOL is a hook and INTEGER is a number of idle seconds before the
package is autoloaded, or just the integer (as per the default behavior
of :defer).
Also fixes an issue where switch-buffer-deffered packages (like
smartparens) wouldn't load.
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.
There was no way to customize doom-fringe-size. Better to customize
fringes by using fringe-mode, {left,right}-fringe-width or
set-window-fringes directly.
