config for rational-ide

little step to resolve #64

Looks good. But I don't think of LaTeX as part of an IDE, even when it is a useful tool. Wouldn't that be better on another module? Just a thought.

Good start, I think the lisp family of languages usually have something already (although there are LSPs for Clojure and Racket it seems) ala geiser for scheme languages, sly or slime for common lisp, cider for Clojure. So, not sure we would want to run eglot-ensure in those cases. Maybe instead of adding it to prog-mode, we could loop over eglot-server-programs as it mentions the major modes supported.

Something along the lines of (untested, might not work):

(defun rational-ide--eglot-add-hook (mode)
  (let ((hook-name (intern (concat (symbol-name mode) "-hook"))))
    (add-hook hook-name #'eglot-ensure)))

(mapcar #'rational-ide--eglot-add-hook eglot-server-programs)

It definitely belongs in its own module; rational-latex.

Maybe something more generic like rational-writing would be more appropriate. Such a module might include some configuration for blog writing, maybe olivetti, LaTeX, etc.

True, but LaTeX is only one writing mode, and there's already an org module, which is arguably more widely used in the emacs world for writing.

🤷

Perhaps they could be complementary, so one could couple LaTeX/markdown/org with such a mode.

Fair point. No argument from me :-)

Ah, markdown mode, I had forgotten that one. But, yes, I like this idea.

(in the interest of not polluting the discussion for this PR, maybe these ideas should go into their own issue...)
