Emacs bug: describe-key and lambda too poetic

[matzf]

This reminds me of the similarly poetic output of git describe when no tags are available:

  $ git describe
  fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything.

[riffraff]

I love that, as a non-emacs user I can't really tell if M-x describe-feelings is a real thing or not.

[pedrow]

It isn't, but there is a poetry mode for emacs[0] and a mode for managing Python's poetry (which is a tool for dependency management)[1]

I actually just checked and it isn’t, but it would not surprise me if it was real, given there are commands such as `M-x butterfly`, `M-x fortune` or `M-x doctor` in Emacs [1].

The best part is a ways down -- I'd quote it here but that would just be karma farming. Look for "With patch applied".

[Y_Y]

> With patch applied, thy scratch prepared to itch which I bemoan,

> Help link replied, its ink ensnared, with "lambda, type Unknown."[1]

> Apostrophized: "Be tossed, repaired, my user-error thrown!"

> With paren pride, I then declared a test which I have shown.[2]

> Test now revised as thou compared. Composure hath no throne

> when teary-eyed, in fear I blared, "My closure! Type Unknown?"

(Karma is meaningless

you should have just said it

if you want poem_for_your_sprog

then go back to reddit)

Look where?

EDIT: Ah, in the OP.

  Docstrings, errors too, are nice.
  But haven't the impressive flair
  Of poems to which Elisp is heir.
  Elisper's life is paradise!
