Emacs-ng: Emacs with Deno runtime and TypeScript

I like Emacs for everything except elisp. I never learnt it despite a few attempts, it feels odd and orthogonal to everything else I do. My .emacs is cobbled together from googled snippets.

I would love a normal extension language, that also isn’t a hack (like Python integration). I’m not a JS guy but I’ll take it over lisp.

I’m not sure what the web render things are, but if it means some kind of browser integration, that sounds good too. I use org mode, often with html export and latex maths, having it render quickly and seamlessly would be a win for me.

basically this means that `apt install emacs-nox` now takes 2GBs of downloads, pulls in hundreds of fast-changing, hardly audited extensions and probably is not available in sane distros. No, thanks.

Well, that would be bad, agreed. But as I see upside in the project, I certainly won't bemoan it as useless ahead of time.
