Oh that looks so pretty! I've wanted an excuse to try out emacs in the first place, and this could be it!

I'm afraid that 100% compatibility may be very often at odds with multi-threaded elisp. So much in Emacs depends on global state :-/

Interesting interesting. I'm huge into Emacs and have felt like Emacs has needed a Neovim sort of moment for a while now. A lot of the modern features you'd expect out of an IDE are bad and slow in Emacs rn due to threading and pretty core issues to Emacs (so I cope and say I don't need autocomplete).

But also suspicious of anything this AI generated which touts rust like this.

Watch demo button on the website doesn't work.

I mean gnu-emacs is already quite snappy in Wayland mode.

It's hard to take this seriously when it has wonky Claude website design. Rewriting emacs in Rust also feels like a nonsensical task.
