FYI and thanks about oremacs HOT 2 CLOSED

Thank you for sharing your configuration, elisp libraries and over all contribution to emacs.

You're welcome.

I have cloned your emacs configuration and emacs starts under a second. How do you manage to keep the emacs init time very low? I use use-package macro and for me emacs takes few seconds to startup.

A lot of stuff is autoloaded. See hooks.el - it contains 72 add-hook statements. The functions in add-hook are usually defined in their own file, which is related to the corresponding major-mode.
So instead of loading ~72 files and all dependencies that they pull in, I load only 72 add-hook statements that are instant because they don't load any packages.
Then when e.g. python-mode is opened:

1. It calls python-mode-hook,
2. which calls ora-python-hook,
3. which is autoloaded from ora-python.el,
4. which means that the whole content of ora-python.el is loaded only when the first python-mode file is opened.

See also update-all-autoloads, which generates the loaddefs.el file.

Can you share some pointers or write up a blog post on how you make emacs startup fast?

I thought that I already had written that subject, but I can't find it now. If I don't find it, I'll make a blog post when I have time.

That's interesting. I think spacemacs also does something similar? It installs python mode specific packages only when the first python mode file is opened.
I will look into the your configuration. Looking forward to your blog post!

Thanks.
