GPU speedups are welcome, but you don't need a shader and a gpu to insert a flashy effect.

Emacs has had this for decades: `pulse.el`. And building your own is very simple also.

You'll still need someone to write the glue code to trigger the pulse, but then a gpu patch on the backend wouldn't give you that either.

I'm sure someone on MELPA/Github has written code to do just this already.

I expected this kind of reply, which is why I specifically mentioned that I actually use pulse.

This attitude of "Emacs already has this" is not helpful and limits the development and evolution of Emacs. Have you seen how the Ghostty shaders work and how specifically the cursor highlighting one works? It is way better than what Emacs does today.

Pulse works, but honestly it pales when compared to neovim's effect. It would be nice to have a machinery to create things like that in Emacs.
