@akiva: some nice new features and layers

"Recovery mode when there is an error in the user dotfile. Now even when your dotfile cannot be loaded, Spacemacs will be operational with a minimal set of packages available (thanks to cmccloud)” <— finally

Yeah. Having to bring up vim just to edit the .spacemacs file was irritating.

My favorite thing is that all of the SPC commands are now properly labeled. No more seeing a ton of Prefix or whatever the standard label was.

Ooh, the new which-key (replacing guide-key) is really neat! That was one of my big frustrations, whenever the guide-key popup wasn't big enough to display all the options.

@cfleming: I recently read a talk by Steve Yegge about dynamic vs static(ally typed) languages and the different approaches IDEs take to support those. He made the distinction between deterministic algorithms (like type checking) and probabilistic methods that can find more sophisticated cases (like Hotspot uses those to optimize code). Are you using those techniques also in Cursive, or mostly based on deterministic things like AST analysis? This was the talk I'm referring to: http://steve-yegge.blogspot.nl/2008/05/dynamic-languages-strike-back.html
