Remacs is a community-driven port of GNU Emacs to Rust, replacing parts of the C codebase with Rust implementations while remaining compatible with Emacs Lisp. The project is no longer maintained, with users directed to emacs-ng as an alternative Rust-based Emacs fork.
Use cases
- run an Emacs editor built with Rust instead of C
- contribute to porting Emacs C primitives to Rust
- use Emacs Lisp with a memory-safe implementation
- build a custom Emacs fork with Rust integration
- research how Rust and C interoperate in a large codebase
When to choose
- you want a Rust-based Emacs implementation for experimentation or research
- you need a real-world example of incrementally porting C to Rust
- you want to study Emacs internals rewritten in Rust
When to avoid
- you need a maintained, production-ready editor - the project is abandoned
- you want new features or bug fixes - use GNU Emacs or emacs-ng instead
- you rely on timely security updates
