Intro#
emacs-ng is based off of the master branch of emacs, and regularly

environment. We want Emacs to be a editor 40+ years from now that has
the flexibility and design to keep up with progressive technology.

Emacs combined with the rust ecosystem brings a lot of
possibilities. If you have any idea for a new feature, just open an
issue before starting work so we can give you some feedback.
We try to maintain a list of “new contri
