Description

I describe my experience in "getting rid" of company-mode and transitioning to corfu. I now have yasnippets integrated with a couple lines Emacs Lisp. The main advantage is that with I need less packages and configuration, specially on master. The talk will include some code snippets that show it was easier than expectedand a life demo.

20 minutes (with demo)

About the speaker:

After 30 years using Emacs, professionally and for my PhD, I'm currenly quite involved in org-mode, where I'm revamping the LaTeX backend. To do this, I needed a new approach to auto-completion because company-mode started requiring too much code and integration.
