Re: [CEDET-devel] CEDET, future and Emacs

[Fermin <fm...@po...>]

You are right, keeping up with new languages is quite hard, I think this 
is why CEDET need more people involve, we can never match
the level of adoption of LSP, but we can provide a decent programming 
experience for a variety of languages.

Focusing on a balance between popular (to attract users) and stable 
(languages that don't require a lot of changes over time) can be
an interesting strategy, I'm not saying to focus all the energy into 
writing a javascript production parser or a Ada parser, something in
  between, that can be stable enough and popular enough.

For now, I think improving the actual parsing infrastructure is more 
critical that supporting new languages, giving the synchronous nature
of CEDET, right now is not well suited for large projects, Emacs now 
support (partially, and in a hackish way) asynchronous processing 
<https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/async.html>,
and I hope in the near future, with native compilation 
<https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GccEmacs>, the elisp performance can 
improve drastically ,which can really play really well if CEDET is 
prepared to take advantage of this changes.
