...I think now that we have use-package working, it should be easy to setup lsp-mode in emacs-ng.el
So this might be a noob question but I don't know if it fully get the implications of having straight.el setup
means we can add features in emacs-ng and then optionally install elisp packages
but I think this should only be done in special situations, like lsp enhancement
Hmm yeah I mean lsp is a pretty core component of my dev env so makes sense to me
but we are trying to leverage lsp-mode by using emacs-ng async functionality
so while these changes aren't merged into lsp-mode, it seems to make sense to include our modified lsp-mode, at least optional
and this way it's also easier for me to get some help, it's complex stuff =)
For lsp support, there are two projects: elgot vs lsp-mode
People will ask: why lsp-mode, why not elgot?
and just install it by using straight
when we fixed the issues with our lsp facilities we can provide interfaces that can also be used by eglot

Sorry, I did't update the doc of nix-build. if you want to update the emacs-ng that you can try nix develop -c nvfetcher
Hi all, I've noticed development seems to have slowed a bit but I'm a big fan of the project and I have some rust experience so I'm going to try to lend a hand.
I've been using emacsng as my daily driver for the most part for the last couple of months and theres a couple issues that I'm most interesting in helping fix or at least diagnose better.

In particular I noticed significant lag when moving around buffers. This seems to get worse when more buffers are open and when distributed on a wide screen. It seems this is related to the effort described emacs-ng/emacs-ng#378
Additionally some of the ui issues described emacs-ng/emacs-ng#347 (in particular misrendering child frames, and wrongly scaling images and pdfs) hamper the experience a bit. I can move to making comments on the issues themsevles but I thought I'd reach out here first to see if anyone is currently working on addressing these and how best I'd be able to help collaborate.
Just be busy at my personal life recently.
Fair enough, I was just looking to help contribute, the webrender stuff seems neat but I'm not sure I understand the architecture too well
I'd say what I'm most motivated to assist in (since it affects me the most) is the input lag, its hard to tell if this is already covered by one of the existing tickets though
sorry I didn't reply
@reggiemarr:bridge.monster I also didn't give up the project. You're very welcome to contribute to whatever features you are interested in. But we still lack the manpower to review pull requests properly. The project has a certain complexity with the features that are already implemented, making it even more difficult. webrender is the most complex feature so it's probably not the best place to start(especially when harryfei doesn't has the time to support you).
What I'm doing is try to improve popular emacs features and I hope at some point the changes convince more people to give the project a chance. The async facilities that were added by @DavidDeSimone provide lots of possibilities to improve the performance and I think that's the easiest way to show the value of the project.
I want to work to balance more time to contribute to the project
Right now I am just balacing work, being a newly wed along with other responsibilities
I still see a lot of potential in the project and fully believe in its goals
Also to all the other contributors, great job on getting to 1.1k stars!
Congrats ! And yeah I really didn't mean to come off as "why is nobody working on this free software I use and don't pay for" In any case I'll take crack at something over the next bit. Wish me luck !
hello, I'm looking at trying out emacsNg. I've got a question though, I'm on nixos and my system configuration is a flake. How easy/hard is it to get emacsng with the webRender running in this setup?
hi folks - I'm interested in contributing to emacs-ng. I don't know rust. I write a lot of enterprise java at work. I'm noticing that vterm performance seems rather slow out of the box. I'm not running the webrender based build. Is this expected? I see a comment on the docs about integrating a rust based terminal emulator.
