After several months, I'm finally sharing the first pre-release of Emacs Indigo, a native #Emacs module that brings the #Indigo #cheminformatics library to Emacs #Lisp.
It's now at a point where the core functionality is solid enough to share. (1/7)

Tonight, I released a #Telegram bot that generates a QR code from any string. It's a remake of my #TypeScript version that used Zustand/Immer as the backend. In #Clojure, immutability, atoms, and watchers are all built-in: there's no need for external libraries.

Remember when I said I was working on a lazy stream abstraction for Emacs Indigo? It's finally here in v0.10.0, and I'm pretty excited about how it turned out.

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.
