I went back to (non-native) emacs, partially due to this problem.
- coldtea 10y agoEmacs has tons of C code. And the display (and core text manipulation stuff IIRC) is not written in elisp. In contrast, Atom just uses native code as the JIT, and then not only does (almost) everything in JS but also renders it with slow DOM.
- moosingin3space 10y agoI'm looking forward to Guile Emacs, if it ever gets merged into mainline, because emacs will then have a JIT (and maybe we can then land things like real threads)
