Good to know! For as much as I use Emacs I don’t really follow the Emacs community / ecosystem.

I saw version 29 was recently cut- is there anywhere I can get a good overview of “best practices in 2022”?

I wouldn’t mind dusting off my init.el and updating it. I haven’t had a good yak shave in five years or so :)

https://blog.phundrak.com/emacs-29-what-can-we-expect/ has some highlights.

eglot, tree-sitter are both very nice.

the sqlite integration is currently what i'd describe as "cute", but maybe not the most featureful.

Can you watch it purely in Emacs?

Depends on your definition of "purely". I will watch using an mpv managed by EXWM so it will be showing up as an Emacs buffer. Or you could use the embedded video player in EAF.

As with the high vote totals for Firefox-related links, the presence of a link on an ancient* text editor at #1 on HN (as I write) reveals that HN voters are a bit ... old school. These tools' relative importance has declined over the last 15 years.
