+[:globe_with_meridians: Emacs]() has been the most 'popular' editor for Clojure development and according to the [:globe_with_meridians: Clojure Survey 2024](https://clojure.org/news/2024/12/02/state-of-clojure-2024) remains well ahead of other [Clojure aware editors](https://practical.li/clojure/clojure-editors/).
+
+Emacs 30 is the current stable release and includes: Eglot LSP client, Tree-Sitter language parser and `package.el` to install packages from Git repositories directly.
+
+Building from source is a convenient way to try Emacs features in advance, especially useful for those maintaining or developing new tools on top of Emacs.
