    Fun fact: I moved from Spacemacs to Doom Emacs because of resource consumption 😉

      That’s true 😅 . I like the keybinding (vim) implementation and the layers (it’s more abstraction but it works). But I thinking to moved, again, to Doom. In some parts Spacemacs feels fragile.

        Yup, made the move too a couple years back. It’s honestly quite amazing how robust/hackable they have managed to keep Doom.

        I think what slows Emacs distributions down the most is custom Elisp code. Do those parts benefit from native compilation at all?

          I haven’t looked but I don’t think there’s that much custom code in Doom Emacs for example… it’s mostly something that sets sane defaults and glue over disjointed points… most of my slowdowns have come from different kinds of parsers etc and native-comp compiles all the packages which speeds up load / execution times.
