As Eric has pointed out himself, the entry barrier is quite high though
and support for other languages often requires difficult customizations
(if possible at all).

A better integration by default for some of the most-used languages
would increase Emacs's usefulness tremendously for the majority of
people writing code, which in my understanding is the main purpose of
Emacs.

The CEDET framework is there, but the suppo= rt for a language could be on many levels. Is there somewhere a table over = the support for different languages?
