Vertical tabs are coming back, finally... I still miss this tree tab extension I was using maybe 7 years ago.

I loved Turbo Pascal, but to me the high point of Borland's tooling was Delphi (1995). I don't want to sound like old man yells at cloud, but every time someone says that building GUIs with Electron is so easy compared to native apps, I just wished they experienced Delphi in its prime.
There are some very short/simple demos on YouTube:
Looks pretty similar to C# WinForms that ships with Visual Studio.

I'm surprised that we got the whole way through all these comments and nobody mentioned "L'Acadamie Francais" and the French laws enforcing proper use of the language, requiring a certain percentage of broadcast media to be in acadamie-sanctioned French. In my opinion, this is the cause of the international friction with other speakers. On the other hand, I've been to Paris and as long as I open with French and ask questions to the best of my ability, parisians have been very nice about adapting to my lack of ability.
So much misinformation on the article and in the comments...
1) The academy doesn't make laws, they just make recommendations that anyone is free to follow or ignore.
2) there are laws regarding the amount of french-spoken media being broadcasted but nothing is said about which word is accepted or not you can use as much foreign slang as you want.
3) the academy does not make an official dictionary. There is no official dictionary. There are multiple private entities editing dictionaries. These companies have their own authority on what makes it in the dictionary.
3) the academy suggest new words when none exist in French to avoid using too many English ones. Again it's perfectly fine to ignore them if you don't like them. Some works (eg logiciel for software) some don't (eg courriel for email).
Other french speaking nations have their own academy and that's also fine. There are no academy wars lol.
I'm also surprised at the reactions regarding Quebecers. Most french people are delighted to hear that accent. It's very rare to hear it in France. We are mostly used to accents from north and sub-saharian African regions, or bordering neighbors. When I fist heard it I couldn't help but say I loved their accent. In a genuine, wholesome way... It is sad that it's often taken the wrong way.

No openGL/Vulkan/whatever. Why are the renderers missing?

What a lovely idea!
Question to the devs: are you planning on redoing how the gui subsystem works, to work with (for example) the gtk event loop? I've always wanted to try to put a qt frontend on emacs, but have always been horrified away by that subsystem.
I'd say its unlikely to happen as they are aiming for bug-for-bug compatibility.

I thought I had seen that code snippet before, it was also quoted as a bad example in a more recent article on the Dolphin dev blog regarding the Zelda HLE (this one is about the AX HLE): https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2015/08/19/new-era-hle-audio/
Pierre Bourdon is delroth
22 for me. Damn I suddenly feel old.
Donate to the FSF! :)
(I mean you don't have to obviously, but I think it's a good remainder for all of us that Emacs wouldn't exist without it. I've just bought a shirt myself!)
And if you think IRC is too old for the modern world take a look at matrix or xmpp.
How did we let discord take over is a mystery to me, or rather a tragedy.
