Comparison of straight.el to other Emacs package manager.

This article is an opinion piece on Comparison to other package managers.

Emacs package manager are split into 2 categories: package.el wrapper or not package.el wrapper.

One idea that straight.el emphasizes a lot is that straight.el manages commits rather than managing a whole a package. Some PM only accept latest commit. Other only accepts repo on github etc. I call this design decision a “smallest unit of design implementation.”

Other unique takes on managing Emacs packages are Borg (assimilates packages as Git submodules into .emacs.d).

That’s it. peace.
