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?).

So a newbie just popped out, liking the project, posing politely, feeling logically lost because there is so much out there and structured differently (everything you need to add points to the level of confusion), asking for suggestions on how they can arrange something quickly for their context to be able to start using it right away and make do as needed...

Then you come in, the elipsian version of the classic elitist piece of crap on Arch Linux.

I just want to sincerely assure OP that the community here is generally friendly and positive, dickheads like 'this individual who feel like berating for nothing instead of moving on uninteresting topics, are a distinct minority.

The question lent itself to both earnest and humorous replies, and it duly received both, so this seems very unnecessary. If you don't think a joke is funny, down-vote it and move on.
