I didn't work with emacs.(Sorry there) For code editing, vagrant mounts volumes from the host machine, so you can edit the code from the host machine and it will update in the box too.

Suggestion: Almost the same thing you can achieve with Docker(containers). Because you have a Mac, you need to check the permissions to files that need to be written from both the host and the container.

Good luck.

P.S.: Not a DevOps, these are my 2 cents. P.P.S.: Don't kill me.

I understand that the box reflects the file changes, however that does not really help me.

I need an Linux Dev environment, that includes all the tools for emacs. I used to just live in the VM, but current performance is terrible, so I'm trying to see what my options are with just connecting to the VM from the host and editing from the host. That means though that all the tools are on the VM (REPL, etc) so I need to find a way to connect running emacs instance in the VM

Not a Lisp dev and I don't think I understand clearly what you want to achieve (as I have no knowledge of lisp envs).

Doesn't SSH help you?

Also came across this: http://www.braveclojure.com/getting-started/

First thing I came over regarding docker is: https://hub.docker.com/r/daewok/lisp-devel/

Sorry if this doesn't help.

Hope you succeed!
