fast enough for a million users on a $4 budget.

When you get to 1% of the world population, you can switch to rust/go

The only two langauges that have better error handling are golang and rust.

but not having to context switch from python to another language is worth it for 95% of applications.

get a - roomba create 3 for 400 - arm built of dynamixel servos for 200 - camera for 100-500 (stereoscopic will set you back but its worth it) - nvidia jetson nano orin nx (500)

for about 2k, you can make a robot that can clean your house and is probably smarter than a dog/cat

magnus carlsen basically quit because computers ruined chess. As did kasparov.

Fischer was probably the last great player who was unassisted by tools.

would it be a bad idea to rewrite the emacsLisp interpreter and other OS parts in a multi-core friendly language like preferably GO but rust would work too?

my reasoning is that it would add another 100 years to the shelf life of emacs. its good enough i dont have any reason to switch, but if the single threaded perf i s still a bottleneck in 5 years i'd probably switch to ZED.
