Announcing Dizzee

Saturday, September 10th, 2011

Dizzee is an Emacs library for managing subprocesses.
This is it’s initial release!

From the docs:

Dizzee is a pleasant way to manage your project’s subprocesses in Emacs.
You have a project.
In order to get an instance running and start working, you have to manually launch say… 4 processes in 4 different shells.
This is Not Fun.
Thankfully it is also a definable, repeatable process – which means that we can Use Programming.
At worst, this is More Fun than doing it yourself every time.

This all came about when I started my current job – of the three product stacks I work on, none can be run from source without launching multiple processes in separate shells. Terminator helps (and is generally awesome) but being able to start work on a bug all with one command, and build in code reloading without having to build it into the source & go through the process of getting the relevant buy-in for that, was a massive win.

Bugs/feature requests & docs via github.

Enjoy.

Love regards etc
