Spacemacs[0] with its F# layer enabled is also painless to set up, if that's more your cup of tea: http://blog.nikosbaxevanis.com/2015/04/25/fsharp-on-emacs-wi... [0] http://spacemacs.org&#x2F

I haven't directly compared them to atom recently, but I've found these emacs themes to be pretty comparable: https://github.com/jonathanchu/atom-one-dark-theme https://github.com/NicolasPetto

The F# support is what got me to try vscode at all. Before that, I was skeptical about all js-based editors (being an emacs guy), but I was pleasantly surprised at how well this vscode+ionide setup works. Visual Studio is still a bit nicer

I bought a kobo ereader over a kindle not too long ago, precisely because it supported this font. I tend to prefer Comic Sans[0] over it a bit though, and use Pointfree[1] on all my code editors. None of those make reading completely smooth

Dart only looks like java (this was a deliberate design choice to increase familiarity and ease learning/adoption), but it works a lot more like ruby and go.

I've been wondering, has there been any research directly comparing the effects of tDCS with modafinil and/or any other nootropics like piracetam?

Agreed. Up until recently, I too used to prefer working with raw HTML... then I started working on a couple large apps, tried polymer/angular, and ended up gaining a new-found appreciation for frameworks like react/mithril/me

> I think I'd miss patterns like `if (arr.length) { ... }` At least for this particular example, dart supports an 'isNotEmpty' property on all iterables[0], so it'd just be this: if (arr.isNotEmpty) { ... }

Been using optional typing for almost a year now with Dart, and it's pretty awesome. Really hoping this comes to python!

Maybe I'm not getting something, but all this Flux stuff reminds me a lot of DDD+CQRS (domain driven design w/ command query response segregation), to the point where it seems like it's the same concepts repackaged with diffe

Yeah, using 'summon' works, it just kind of slips our minds that it exists when we're thinking/talking about the code, but that's likely just a familiarity issue. Mostly it's just the use-case of being able to

I'm not terribly experienced with React, but from briefly using it, I definitely prefer polymer's simple vanilla html+js declarative data-binding approach over react's JSX + element injection, from a basic usage perspective.

Which can be (and was) remedied by a simple reply to correct that one particular part. Indiscriminately pedantic downvoting on the other hand, just kills the potential for any fruitful discussion all for the sake of some silly minor mistake

You're right that thinking critically != negativity, but nobody ever said anything about thinking critically. What davedx was talking about is more akin to the rampant immature cynicism, contemptment, and 1up-manship around here. Simil
