Emacs 29 is more or less feature-complete and is going to be one of the most exciting Emacs releases in recent years. Built-in LSP support (via eglot), tree-sitter, wayland and plenty of other goodies are coming your way blog.phundrak.com/emacs-29-wha

Exciting times ahead!
In Emacs we trust!

blog.phundrak.com · Emacs 29 is nigh! What can we expect?Table of Contents Major features Eglot is now part of Emacs core Tree-Sitter is also part of Emacs core Install packages from source with package.

@bbatsov Oh wow, I didn't know they merged eglot! That's awesome! I'm also very excited about the first-party tree-sitter support since the current third-party support is... middling.

@bbatsov Being able to install packages via Git is also very nice! I know a few of my packages, as well as some from Mickey Petersen and others, aren't on any package archive, only on GitHub. I've just been cloning them and it's a whole pain.

@j3rn Can't remember the last time I needed a package that's not on MELPA, but I can imagine that's useful in some cases.
