Experimenting with a faster TRAMP backend using Rust and JSON-RPC

#emacs  #tramp  #rust  #rpc 

TRAMP is one of Emacs' killer features. The ability to transparently edit files on remote machines, run shells, and use version control as if everything were local is remarkable. The implementation is impressively portable - it works over SSH, sudo, docker, and countless other methods by cleverly parsing shell command output.

I've been experimenting with an alternative approach that trades some of TRAMP's universality for speed improvements in the common SSH use case. This is very much an alpha project and nowhere near as battle-tested as TRAMP, but the early results are promising enough that I wanted to share it and get feedback.

Ellama

From ellama

Ellama is a tool for interacting with large language models from Emacs. It allows you to ask questions and receive responses from the LLMs. Ellama can perform various tasks such as translation, code review, summarization, enhancing grammar/spelling or wording and more through the Emacs interface. Ellama natively supports streaming output, making it effortless to use with your preferred text editor.
