TIL about Emacs' antinews (what would be new if you were to downgrade to Emacs 30)

Between treesitter and eglot (read: LSP), there’s not much from other editors I miss when using Emacs. I’ve been on a Zed kick for a while but I hear the call of the GNU. This may be the week I declare .emacs bankruptcy and start again with a clean setup, seeing how much of my old third-party config I can replace with builtins.

Bit of a tangent but does anyone have good learning materials on doing things with Emacs Lisp beyond just staring at the source of packages?
I have the Mastering Emacs book and read through most of it, which gives me a good idea for some stuff... but I really would like to have good ideas for the right kind of design patterns for common things.

How unfortunate that glibc has removed support for unexec. Although it wasn't a very widely used feature, it seems like the kind of orthogonal powerful feature that distinguishes one platform from another, like Unix's fork(), or I/O redirection, or strace, or not needing different system calls to write text and binary files. In an alternate universe, you could imagine unexec support being generalized to support broader classes of applications for purposes such as process migration, high-availability failover, and bug reproduction (as with rr), instead of being removed.

Is there a better way to get started with Emacs than the built in tutorial? I've tried a couple times (due to increasing annoyance with VS Code), but have struggled to get to a point where I feel productive enough.
