Making tramp go brr by removing half of features

Sad to see it's still so far from vscode. Is there really no way to make emacs magically work like vscode without modifying packages

Idk maybe invent something like jit-compilation but for remote/local code. Profile rtt latency then somehow dynamically calculate optimal local-remote code split and transfer remote part to remote machine






There is inherent limitation of latency/responsiveness in the tramp model versus the copy vscode server to my server and communicate with it model.

The tramp model does have the advantage of little to no resource usage, but these days most aren't concerned about that.


Indeed in many cases now the server has more resources than the client accessing it (the "thin client + remote dev box" model)
