> it would be interesting to compare Emacs' resource usage to Zed (or Gram)

The core of GNU Emacs is written in C, and there are GNU-licensed Emacs variants which are entirely written in C. I really doubt anything like a new Zed/Gram fork would perform better than, say, QEmacs.

well duh

> If this administration had strong reasons to believe Microsoft cheated and engaged in fraudulent practices, the DoJ would have opened an investigation leading to punitive measures.

Microsoft and other tech firms on the DoJ's list have already been suspended from permanent labor certification programs following their work visa fraud investigations so this just isn't true.

> That's not going to happen. It's easier for them to send the jobs offshore.

Microsoft's Government/Enterprise business depends hugely on their US presence and history. Offshoring more than they have already wouldn't just further tank the quality of their already-declining product catalogue further but it would disqualify them from federal procurement and compromising the privileged market access.

Please do consider it! I would love to have this feature in emacs and would be willing to write an implementation if this bit was done.
