   #GNU #Emacs 19 was the last good #GNU #Emacs.

     @amszmidt Really not a fan of compiled elisp, huh?

     @screwtape Now you put me into a spot ... but you know that #GNU #Emacs 19 was byte compiled .... 🔥

     @screwtape Fun history, some files in the #GNU #Emacs 19 release where compiled by Erik Naggum, and other hackers .. since back then we shared things.

     @screwtape @amszmidt How so? Even Emacs 13 has a Lisp compiler. Or are you referring to one of the other two elisps?

     @larsbrinkhoff
     My memory says that compilation of elisp significantly around emacs 24, but listen, today hasn't been my best day

     @screwtape @amszmidt That could well be. I haven't followed Emacs closely; is compilation to machine code in yet?

     @azul If and only if you are using libgccjit, otherwise the standard byte compiler.

     @larsbrinkhoff @screwtape @amszmidt Native compilation was available in emacs 27, and I think built-in as of 29.
