I built a GPU back end for Emacs (opens in new tab)

Discussed on Hacker News

Emacs user for >32 years now. It's a pity this won't get merged. There is a big usability/accessibility factor to consider here: I really wish I could have something like the Ghostty cursor_blaze.glsl shader for highlighting where the cursor is when you switch windows/buffers/apps.Most people think GPU equals silly toys like video in a text window, but there is much more to it than that.[and yes, I know about beacon, which unfortunately doesn't work too well, as well as about pulse, which I use]
