There’s a different read loop? I’ve not really noticed a difference tbh.

Well, if you want to customise Emacs - obviously it’s worth learning. Im not quite sure where you get that idea that because its “old” then its support is somehow worse than “more popular” languages. It has great documentation - in editor too.

The only “performance” issue for me is lsp - but that tends to be at first run on a large framework. And since my “old” laptop (x1c6) is about 1000x faster than the one I started using emacs on in the early 2000s it really isnt an issue.

Less haste, more speed…

Lol. I just realised I never knew. Thanks!

Recently I was reading #emacs and saw that some claim pgtk, or native wayland, is bodged and not feature complete. Is that right? If so, which is the best toolkit to compile from source with to run under XWayland?

That’s a bit of a damp squib to put it mildly.
