A Nice Guy Here Was Talking With Me About Emacs, And . . .

Just maybe you might be interested in emacs-bedrock,

  https://codeberg.org/ashton314/emacs-bedrock 
    Emacs Bedrock
    "An extremely minimal Emacs starter kit. . .  ."

which I found out about because I saw the author, ashton314's comment on HN at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41115907
which led to
https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=ashton314
which said

GitHub: https://github.com/ashton314

And I think it was the Github repo which led me to Codeberg.

Anyway, here's the screenshot of ashton314's emacs-bedrock from Codeberg. As a guy who someday might try emacs again because (thanks to @cmeerw ) we know about ed for emacs, maybe emacs-bedrock also might be helpful.
