+00:00:00.480 --> 00:01:16.319
+Thanks
+
+00:01:16.320 --> 00:02:05.359
+Why is Elisp not a general-purpose programming language, at least not completely?
+
+00:02:05.360 --> 00:02:37.759
+Is this activity related to the garbage collector?
+
+00:02:37.760 --> 00:03:42.079
+Is the idea to eventually develop Emacs itself in Elisp?
+
+00:03:42.080 --> 00:04:27.199
+How did you work on this?
+
+00:04:27.200 --> 00:05:39.039
+Does this compilation pipeline introduce vulnerabilities?
+
+00:05:39.040 --> 00:07:28.479
+What code, if any, will still benefit significantly from being written in C?
+
+00:07:28.480 --> 00:08:49.359
+What's the risk of (setq native-comp-speed 3)?
+
+00:08:49.360 --> 00:09:15.199
+Are there any limits introduced by native comp with respect to runtime introspectability, changeability/redefinability, etc?
+
+00:09:15.200 --> 00:10:11.359
+Is there a benefit in setting native-comp-compiler-options to "-mtune=native -march="?
+
+00:10:11.360 --> 00:11:54.799
+You mentioned native-comp coming in emacs 28. Will this be the default at build time, or will distros have to set this themselves?
+
+00:11:54.800 --> 00:14:22.479
+Could we avoid libgccjit.so? Or consider using another jit lib (e.g. dynasm used by luajit) et al to gain better optimization?
+
+00:14:22.480 --> 00:16:23.839
+How much of Emacs's C code base could be translated to emacs-lisp? What is the minimum C code base necessary?
+
+00:16:23.840 --> 00:17:27.599
+Could we statically type elisp code (via macros?) to provide more optimization hints to compiler?
+
+00:17:27.600 --> 00:18:55.839
+Elisp and Python all are dynamically typed langauge, but benchmark shows that Elisp runs slower than Python. Could we learn some best practices from the Python community?
+
+00:18:55.840 --> 00:21:35.919
+Did you try to optimize with Rust too? What are your thoughts on Rust for this particular optimization and security?
+
+00:21:35.920 --> 00:22:59.039
+Does the native compilation interface with the Emacs profiling tools?
+
+00:22:59.040 --> 00:27:04.319
+Where did funding for your work come from?
+
+00:27:04.320 --> 00:28:36.879
+What kind of application do I envision native comp enabling to work well in Emacs in the next few years, and which one would not be possible?
+
+00:28:36.880 --> 00:29:47.679
+Is this the first real-world practical use of libgccjit?
+
+00:29:47.680 --> 00:33:49.359
+Is there any task you need help with?
+
+00:33:49.360 --> 00:38:37.519
+What's a good way to proceed?
+
+00:38:37.520 --> 00:40:46.079
+What kind of packages do you think could now be practical with native comp?
+
+00:40:46.080 --> 00:46:29.759
+Why not implement Emacs Lisp in Guile and use Guile's compiler?
+
+00:46:29.760 --> 00:48:27.679
+What are some other hobbies/interests of yours besides Emacs?
+
+00:48:27.680 --> 00:51:04.639
+Will you be presenting at ELS or anywhere else in the next year?
+
+00:51:04.640 --> 00:59:46.959
+How to make Emacs more popular?
+
+00:59:46.960 --> 01:02:04.799
+Do you have 'wish list' features, things you long for Emacs to be able to do?
+
+01:02:04.800 --> 01:05:33.359
+From BBB chat: dickmao has a patch that makes Gnus async....
+
+01:05:33.360 --> 01:10:20.719
+Advice for anyone who wants to bring something into Emacs core
+
+01:10:20.720 --> 01:10:21.720
+Do you have any advice on how to approach the upstream development community?
