I've been building an 'extract function' refactor feature. It's surprisingly nuanced. Where do you put the extracted function? Once you've done the static analysis, what order do you use for the parameters?

Today I learnt that Emacs 28 shipped a context-menu-mode! https://oylenshpeegul.gitlab.io/blog/posts/20230129/ This seems quintessentially Emacs: deeply hackable, but building UI features in an order very different to the mainstream.

A funny side effect of building software in Rust: my machine OOMs much more during development. I'm not entirely sure why. I think Rust makes it easy to allocate data quickly, and sooner or later you write an infinite loop when coding.
