Not only Lisp, but Javascript and Ruby (AKA dynamic languages) devs also rely heavily in REPLs, for me at least the reason is that you don't know what value a variable holts, so you need to inspect them somehow, with typed languages yo

I got to the conclusion that boring is good enough, for me NPM is the best tool, is not that fast, but the installation speed is not that bad, considering how many times I need to run from scratch, the difference does not matter, it is stab

So weird, launching M6 so silently.

Wasn’t their newer text editor/IDE written in Rust? I forgot how it was called and also didn’t followed up with their development.

In 2018 when Windows and macOS used 2GB just after boot, I tried Arch Linux and with a neat window manager (dwm) a clean boot was using just 300MB, that means our OS is wasting just too much RAM for nothing. This year with Fedora Atomic 44

Did you check if the resources were consumed by the LSP or Zed? Also there was a Zed fork without the AI stuff, not sure if is a hard fork or not and if is still maintained (IIRC wasnt hosted on Github)

For me, what the browser needs it's a good DX to build components, I kind of like Svelte and Vue in that regard, where your CSS, HTML and JS lives all together. Writing a CSS file with the time will start growing and at some point will

The issue with Rust proc macros is that they are impure, so even with incremental compilation, you need to expand them every time.

Not OP, but AFAIK one big issue with FIL-C it does the checks at runtime, adding overhead, don't quote me on this, but IIRC is around 20% slower.

AFAIK the high end chips are made in Taiwan, that's not the same. Also there was an export control, so ASML couldn't sell the latest equipment to China.

How important is stable ABI for projects like Bun? I think it only matters if you are building a shared library.

Didn't WASM got a GC proposal that Go and other managed languages can use it? So it might be an issue in most browsers right now, but soon it might not.

Swift is very weak outside Apple ecosystem, compared to Rust. Not sure nowadays, but Swift used to have breaking changes each major release, that's a non go for a big project.

But current LLMs have a context window limitation, so you can't fit your whole source code into the context, that's why compilers guide the LLMs when they are producing code and that's where Rust compiler shines, it has very

Are we living the worst times in a while technology wise, this presentation showed nothing useful. Last year at least they showed some interesting features, but as always I don’t use any of them, the only one I wanted in the past few years

I recommend you to watch Andrew Kelly interview[0], while I'm not the target audience of Zig, I don't see him driving away any user. Also Jai as for now is a non existing language, just a selected few has access to it, but Jai app

Those might be niche devices, I think if were Samsung or Pixel devices, it would be a different story, similar for Apple devices, they are fewer variants, that it would be a lot of developers putting effort on adding upstream Linux support

I was thinking that this or opening the bootloader should be required (by governments) for deprecated devices. Imagine all the Android and Apple devices you could give a second life by installing in them linux with some lightweight window m

Zig is low level, so it will certainly not replace your python usage, it is more like a modern C than anything else. There’s a video of a recent interview with Andrew Kelley, if you want to watch it to understand better what Zig is for, it’

I was exploring a similar approach, but not focused on AI, my idea was basically group projects by workspace, where each workspace has a path and is related to a project, you can spawn terminals, editor and web browser windows in this works

They are compiled to WASM, so they have limited IO capabilities, but still they have IO.

That's the reason I stopped installing random extensions and even themes in VS Code, they are too dangerous.

That would be an interesting project, I assume a lot of not so young engineers will want to play with it, as a hobby. Also if that project exists, I'm sure that someone will try to port DOOM.

I don't know about California, but AFAIK reverse engineering is legal, but breaking DRM protection isn't, so what companies did was to put DRM in their software, hence the reverse engineering became illegal.

AFAIK the issue is with one time purchase games, where is not clear if you will be able to play forever or whenever they want to pull the plug, if they change to subscription based model or free to play, then it will be clear for the player
