Ask HN: Design of Emacs type extensible editor based on electron?
I'm surprised that nobody here mentioned Atom [1]. IIUC, Atom was designed to be hackable like Emacs.
A successor to Atom is Pulsar [2].

App LIST!!!
atom (RIP buddy! Free) Atom is a hackable text editor for the 21st century, built on Electron, and based on everything we love about our favourite editors. We designed it to be deeply customizable, but still approachable using the default configuration

I've been using Atom to edit code, and then this popped up today. Anybody know the story behind this? (using a Macbook with BigSure OS installed)
These versions of Atom will stop working on February 2 [2023]. To keep using Atom, users will need to download a previous Atom version.

For Mac users - mv ~/.atom ~/atom_bak rm -fr /Applications/Atom.app download https://github.com/atom/atom/releases/tag/v1.60.0 Drag download to Applications folder - to install
Which version did you roll back to, and where obtained? I noticed the packages on GitHub only go to 1.60.0, and the issue affects 1.63. Did copying packages from the .atom directory work without any other changes?

Can't install AUR atom
And it doesn't match because https://github.com/atom/atom/releases/download/v1.63.1/atom-amd64.deb returns a 404 not found error, so of course it doesn't match.

How to combine daily journal with general database of people, places, things, etc.
If you want to spare a couple of detours, you probably could start with Emacs Org-mode according to Greenspun's eleventh rule: "Any sufficiently complicated PIM or note-taking program contains an ad hoc, informally specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Org mode."

Proof of Concept clang plugin that automatically binds C/C++ -> Lua
Their DEFUN and DEFVAR macros for example let us define a function or a variable that will be available as a Lisp function, and can be used as an ordinary C function from the C code. Emacs is written in pure C99 language and works with both GCC and Clang I believe. We can just define a C function via macro, and it is auto exported and made available to Lisp. For example my first patch to Emacs was for this function (we added "count" argument to make it possible to skip enumerating files in a directory for the case when user code is just interesting if a directory is empty or not):

How to fix Emacs constant freezing on long lines?
If you're like me and you are a hard fan of word wrapping, in emacs 29, it looks like they added two variables which you can modify so emacs would perform better (performance is still not as smooth as vscode): long-line-threshold and large-hscroll-threshold. long-line-threshold works this way: if there exists a line in the current buffer that has more characters than the specified value, emacs would start the performance functionalities. Also large-hscroll-threshold also work the same way as long-line-threshold but it starts the performance functionalities when the wrapped line becomes more than the specified value. I'm not exactly sure if the conditions for both long-line-threshold and large-hscroll-threshold should be met for the perfomance functionalities to be enabled or only one of them meeting the condition would cause the functionalities to start. You can also see if the functionalities are enabled in the current buffer by evaluating the function long-line-optimizations-p. If evaluating (long-line-optimizations-p) returns nil, it means the performance improvements aren't applied, if it returns non nil, it means they are enabled. You can read more in here: https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/master/etc/NEWS.29 . Search for "Emacs is now capable of editing" in that page and the section about these features would come up. You should also disable features related to bidirectional editing and stuff.
