Subject: A simple(perhaps dumb) idea for a more responsive emacs
Date: Wed, 04 Oct 2023 18:03:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87zg0ys7c6.fsf@tanaka.verona.se> (raw)
Hello,
Theres been a lot of talk about multi core emacs etc, and thats nice and
all, but difficult to do.
So another idea is this:
- You have a single Emacs instance, you do everything in it, but you get
sad when a long running operation, in this case Gnus, or generating
your Org agenda, takes a long time, and you have to wait.
- You start 2 or three emacsen for different purposes, but then you get
sad because you dont have the same state in all emacsen
- You could have the main emacs communicate with the different special
purpose emacs using some async option, and that would work, but this
is a different idea
- You could also use CRDT:s to communicate with the special purpose
emacsen. There is a crdt emacs package already. In this case, mainly
the gnus window gets replicated to the main emacs from the gnus emacs.
You could presumably use the crdt for replicating lisp structures,
not just the buffer. A crdt is just a data structure after all.
Anyway, just tossing out an idea.
