What Hacker News says
2 sourcesBefore LSP, it was always annoying getting things setup. You want to get serious with a new language, spend a day configuring Emacs first. Or, fix your 3 year old config. Now it all pretty much just works! With native-comp its even better. Plus I'm using lot of modern features that I never did earlier, eg. renaming, automatically remove imports, see the inferred type in minibuffer.
Flycheck still makes it a bit slow. I think, one big missing piece is lack of multiple threads, which often makes few things a bit laggy. For example, if I'm reading a big C++ source code with indentation guides[1], even with native-comp it can lag a bit.
