Emacs 三年

潜心修炼 Emacs 和 Emacs Lisp 已经 3 年多，我经常会感觉自己一直在原地打转，并为此困惑不已。

直到今天，源于一个我从 2021 年开始启用的有道词典在线插件，今天发现它开始出服务器错误提示了。对此我其实是一点都不意外，因为我现在已经坚信「简单化」和「本地化」才是王道。何不借此机会，干脆写一个 function 直接调用我本地的 GoldenDict 呢？直觉告诉我，这应该不难。

而这“直觉”属实让我兴奋和惊喜！要知道 1 年前这种想法我是想都不敢想的。

于是，大概 10 分钟后，我就有了这样的一段代码。

至此，我终于感到自己并没有在原地打转。

因为山始终在那里，可它的影像于我确已清晰。

I have been devoted to mastering Emacs and Emacs Lisp for over 3 years now, but I often feel like I'm spinning my wheels and it confuses me.

Until today, when I encountered a server error message from the Youdao Dictionary online plugin that I started using in 2021. I wasn't surprised at all because now I firmly believe that "simplicity" and "localization" are the way to go. So why not take this opportunity and write a function to directly call my local GoldenDict? My intuition tells me that it shouldn't be difficult.

And this intuition truly excites and surprises me! You see, a year ago, I wouldn't have dared to entertain such an idea.

So, about 10 minutes later, I had this piece of code.

And now, I finally feel like I'm not spinning my wheels anymore.

Because the mountain is always there, but its image has become clear to me.
