Is Doom Emacs really 500 MB? How did the author determine that?
I use vanilla Emacs and I believe it was closer to 100 MB when I installed it.
Related: I’ve spent a lot of time trying to find a development setup that runs on low-end hardware (as a reaction to modern bloat, and also as a way to minimize distractions). It has many flaws, but Emacs with Common Lisp is my current sweet spot of “price” (resource requirements) to “performance” (features+speed).
