When was that? Emacs 27 (released recently) with native JSON support was reportedly a huge improvement. The `native-comp` branch on master is receiving great feedback too.

It is changing, though. I have an Intel video card (UHD 630), and Webrender (which I had to forcibly enable) is working very well. Video acceleration, too. Even with a 4K screen.

Do you use it with lsp-mode or similar? One would imagine that most CPU load because of rescanning would happen in the language server, and those should be the same between VS Code and Emacs.

Yes and no. At least in this case the OP could have installed a different version of the app (older or customized), and kept the 20 years of data usable.

I don't think it's a great idea. Some commercial model would be ideal, but having a paywall would mean that the influence of MDN on the large web developer community will become than much smaller. That would mean less developers h

Last I saw the numbers, donations tally up to ~$10 million, and the search engine deal to ~$500 million. So I'm not sure what practical purpose you are aiming at.

Ruby does, too (DRb). Though one would need to set it up on on the production server to use it. That means writing some boilerplate.

Coming from (the much-maligned) ActiveRecord, I wasn't really impressed. It has this cute macro-based syntax, and that seems to inform even the "functional" API as well. Yet when you I wanted to do something just a bit more a

"You will be MDN member number 45" I wonder if the number is such because they killed off the active subscription, or the program was only this "successful" to begin with.
