Obviously bundling nearly all of Chromium with an app is inherently inefficient, but out of curiosity's sake, has there been any objective analysis of exactly what makes this use a seemingly disproportionate amount of resources? Are

Oh, I never noticed that. That's pretty interesting—although unfortunately, that syntax does not look terribly convenient to write, which is the main thing I'm after here. I think the best way to get identifiers with whitespace to

Well, thinking about it more, I did realize there's a pretty nasty edge case with my hypothetical JavaScript syntax: let let x = 5; let x = 6; // should this set the variable "let x"? // or defi

This may not be completely acceptable, but I swear by Mempad ( http://www.horstmuc.de/wmem.htm ). It's not open source, but that isn't a huge deal breaker for me, since it can import/export human readable tex

I'm not completely sure it's his code. In his comments, he says it is for "those who are interested in trying something like this," and the readmes of most of the repos thank Tavis Rudd for inspiration, which would be a

I also have hand problems. I use speech recognition to type everything, including code, and a game controller to move around the mouse. The controller I'm currently using, a PS4 controller, has a trackpad in the middle, so I was able t
