emacs-ng
A fork of Emacs that adds modern features like TypeScript/JavaScript support via Deno, GPU-accelerated rendering with WebRender, and improved async I/O.
What is emacs-ng?
emacs-ng is a fork of GNU Emacs that adds a native layer to integrate modern technologies while preserving Emacs' core philosophy. It introduces features like GPU-accelerated rendering via WebRender and JavaScript/TypeScript execution via the Deno runtime to improve performance and accessibility. The project aims to make Emacs more approachable and future-proof without replacing its Elisp foundation.
Emacs users and developers seeking modern performance enhancements, GPU-accelerated graphics, and the ability to use JavaScript/TypeScript within Emacs. It also targets those interested in experimenting with WebAssembly, asynchronous I/O, and parallel execution in an editor environment.
Developers choose emacs-ng for its additive approach that integrates cutting-edge technologies like WebRender and Deno while maintaining full compatibility with vanilla Emacs and Elisp. It offers unique performance gains through hardware acceleration, modern async I/O, and a rich JavaScript ecosystem, all within the familiar, introspectable Emacs environment.
