Windows, Frames... great...but sessions?!
Doom Emacs is a fantastic distribution of Emacs which makes performance improvements on vanilla emacs, probably making it faster than your own configuration. The installation process and migrating your config would be simple IMO, so you may want to give it a try... https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs/

Your first taste of emacs
Doom emacs and Spacemacs are "emacs distributions": when installed you get an entirely pre-configured emacs with all of the nice bells and whistles already there for you. I personally started with spacemacs and then moved to my own emacs config later. One massive caveat for spacemacs is that it is highly intergrated with the "evil" package, which means it uses vim keybindings. While you can disable "evil-mode", the configuration will be greatly hindered without it.

Guide to setting up emacs for web development?
It may or may not be your long-term environment but for someone looking for Vim keybinds and an easy on-ramp, you can dip your toes via doom-emacs and enable the relevant modules. I'd start with :lang javascript[1] and web with +lsp and :tools lsp[2].

GitHub Down again 11/27/2021
I just had a very odd thing happen to me on GitHub.
I accidentally closed my browser so I reopened it with Undo Tab Close, and GitHub's tab title was labeled "Your account recovery is unable to load" for a very brief moment. Then a GitHub error site with a pink unicorn loaded. The URL which was supposed to load was https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs which I had tried to load about 15 minutes or so.

Switching from vim
Maybe something like https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs can be a good idea if you don't want to start from scratch.

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.
