Keeping the syntax and the need to memorise syntax simple

I don’t recommend Emacs for Julia. It’s great for some languages (e.g., Clojure, coq), shines for any language that has no mainstream IDE support (e.g., zsh), and plain-text (org-mode seems unparalleled). But Emacs can’t compete with Julia’s VSCode extension. That extension has superb support: hover documentation, smart goto definitions, profiling (@profview), great auto-complete, debugger, … .

If you want to try Emacs, I recommend starting via doom.
