@barocio@techhub.socialWhen will Rust Emacs be available in Ubuntu?
If they are ditching the GNU core utils I would expect that in some point in the not so far future, they also replace GNU Emacs with Rust Emacs.
There has been attempts to make it possible:
+ https://github.com/remacs/remacs (no longer maintained)
+ https://github.com/emacs-ng/emacs-ng (no longer maintained)
But in my opinion, the best attempt to port Emacs to Rust is RUNE (https://github.com/CeleritasCelery/rune).
This is a project that should receive some love (and money) from a big company that supports Free Software. No, Microsoft doesn't count, neither Apple. (Does Canonical still counts? I don't know.)
So, @ubuntu … when are we going to have our Emacs “oxidation”?
@veer66 @ubuntu No. It's called RUNE.
Here is the link to the Emacs conf presentation:

@barocio @ubuntu you can always install the Nix package manager and get sane builds of Emacs for any system, just in case you need to know that ;)
Not GNU enough for you? Same goes for the Guix package manager.
I guess I had better look up why coreutils aren't suitable for Ubuntu anymore but the idea sounds crazy to me.
