This is a project that I would like to see succeed. Emacs is my most important tool and the best improvement I can think for it to have is to have a better Lisp behind it. Threads, better error handling, tail-recursion, all would be huge wins.
- pnathan 15y agoThreading in emacs would be most excellent. Or, failing that, some sort of multi-process system under the hood ala Chrome. I hate it when an inferior process locks emacs up.
- technomancy 15y agoThreading is actually already implemented on the "concurrency" branch. But for it to really be feasible, the code that's running in the thread needs to start using lexical scope, which is so new that not much code has adopted it yet.
