I'm experimenting with commentary and formatting! =) The Emacs Carnival blogging theme of elevator pitch seems to have resonated with a lot of people: 18 entries so far, which is perfect timing because there's also a new online book for Emacs beginners. Also, if you're looking for a "Can your text editor do this?!" sort of example, there was a lively discussion about clipping videos with Emacs on Hacker News. (Be prepared for bewilderment, though.) On the other hand, if you're here for serious stuff and want a technical deep dive, check out Yuan Fu's post on Emacs tree-sitter integration. Here are the other links:
