Either modelling complex parse trees is painful in C, or I have much to learn about building complex structs in C.

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.
Context menus in Emacs 28!
Today I learned that Emacs 28 added context-menu-mode so that we can easily add context menus. This is a minor mode which you can toggle with M-x context-menu-mode RET but I added hooks to enable it for text mode and a couple others (add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'context-menu-mode) (add-hook 'shell-mode-hook 'context-menu-mode) (add-hook 'dired-mode-hook 'context-menu-mode) I did not hook prog mode because some of the fancier lsp things already use mouse-3.

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.
