On: Eglot has landed on master: Emacs now has a built-...

The next major release of Emacs is going to be awesome, because among other things the so-called PureGTK work was also merged, which means that it will support HiDPI screens properly on Wayland.

Emacs 29 also aims to introduce experimental support for tree-sitter[1], although it will probably be hidden behind a configure-flag.

This should enable us to create better, faster parsers for popular languages where the Emacs-support so far has not been that great.

So yeah I second that. Emacs 29 is going to be a great release!

I wrote about the importance of tree sitter a while back, for people who don't know why Emacs would adopt it:

Thank you for a clear and informative article!

(And thank you for your wonderful book and website, they've both made my life in DevOps more enjoyable and effective)

Thank you :) I'm glad you like the book and site! That makes me very happy.

Do not use pgtk if you're not on Wayland. Its maintainer on the mailing list has been pretty adamant in stressing that the old gtk3 code is the better choice if you're on x11, while pgtk is targeting wayland (so they'd rather break x11 compatibility if it fixes a wayland bug)

That said, I've been running pgtk on GNOME Wayland on a hidpi screen and it's been great.

PGTK is also needed for proper gnome window borders on WSL 2

I'm using it right now!
