eval-exec/neomacs
NEO Emacs (WIP): GPU powered Emacs written in Rust with a modern display engine. Aiming for modern design & multi-threaded Elisp, 10x performance, zero-pause concurrent GC and 100% Emacs compatibility.
About the project
Emacs rewritten in Rust with a GPU display engine via wgpu, aiming for GNU Emacs compatibility and multi-threaded Elisp. Work in progress, already supports inline video, images, browser and terminal in buffers.
Useful for
- Run neomacs with an existing init.el and packages to test compatibility
- Embed 4K video or images directly into an editor buffer
- Configure cursor and scroll animations from Elisp

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
