What are the extensions to have functional IDE in zero time? (alien.top)

I have recently approached the world of Emacs, which I find great... The problem though is that I feel I'm wasting too much time trying to have it running in order to do the real work (and I've seen, there are several memes about it), so I was wondering what are the must-have extensions to quickly fire something functional (similar to vscode... Don't make me get back to that please) for development.

By the way, I've seen several configurations scattered around the web, and something tells me that I've ended up in another anarchic realm (which is, something I both hate and love), as if that of distros -being the same except for one thing- wasn't enough.

Of interest are: Python, Go, Bash, Clojure, Elixir, yaml (Docker, Terraform, Ansible), json, csv

I would also appreciate the general must-have extensions, currently I'm getting lost navigating Doom Emacs and Melpa packages.

Thank you!

Install all-the-packages. It installs all Emacs packages, so you don't have to research or make decisions (who has time for that?). Disk space is cheap nowadays, so a few TB's of data isn't anything to worry about (who has time for that?).

How much would you pay for all-the-packages?! Don't answer yet because if you call now we'll install even more packages. That's right, packages which haven't even been written yet will be installed the moment that their first alpha version is detected on the internet! And if that wasn't enough, our first 100 callers will receive a free pair of GNU socks. Don't miss this incredible offer.
