For Emacsers ... why is this hacker-news-worthy. (source: 20+yr emacs user.)

  Emacs 27 includes a native JSON parser (as opposed to one written in elisp, used previously). This matters a lot if you're using `lsp-mode`, since the LSP protocol uses a JSON encoding. I've been using local builds of emacs 27 for quite some time, for this very reason.

    Ligatures support comes in 27 as well.

    How long until lsp-mode starts to support the native json parser?
    • mullr 6y ago
      It already does.

    Emacs has supported loadable C modules for a while, so I'm surprised there isn't a loadable native JSON parser for pre-27 Emacs already.

  We emacsers tend towards a ptolemaic view of our editor.
