M-X Reloaded: The Second Golden Age of Emacs – (Think)
Run emacs -q (no add-ons loaded) and it should be a lot faster than VS Code. Which means that a library you loaded is the culprit. Things like Doom Emacs are notorious for unexpected slowness since they're not very well put together and load questionable libraries.
In the unlikely case where emacs -q is still slow, use Emacs Mac Port (https://github.com/railwaycat/homebrew-emacsmacport/releases...).
This is at least 2x perceivably faster than VS Code on Mac.

indent-bars: fast, configurable indentation guide bars using font-lock and stipple patterns
Important note: I learned that apparently not all Emacsen properly support :stipple (despite happily accepting it as a face attribute). Linux/UNIX is safe, emacs-mac supports it on MacOS, but Windows may not at all (untested). Also, terminal emacs does not (to my knowledge) implement :stipple. Let me know how you fare. Update: Pure GTK emacs apparently does display stipples, but incorrectly (as an inverse mask).

any users of the Japanese input method? question about input-method.
You can install emacs-mac by homebrew (see https://github.com/railwaycat/homebrew-emacsmacport). $ brew tap railwaycat/emacsmacport $ brew install emacs-mac This emacs contains mac-win.el. Mac Auto ASCII mode in the mac-win.el automatically selects the most-recently-used ASCII-capable keyboard input source on some occasions: after prefix key (bound in the global keymap) press such as C-x and M-g, and at the start of minibuffer input. This function is very useful. I guess you can read Japanese, please visit Japanese setup page of my website (https://taipapamotohus.com/post/japanese\_setup/).

[auto-dark-emacs] - An automatic theme changer for Emacs on macOS - UPDATED!
For what it's worth, the emacs-mac port provides a mac-effective-appearance-change-hook hook to do the same thing as the System appearance change plugin. I use it like this:

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.
