I hope org-mode gets more popular outside of Emacs. I know all the words already about how org-mode is great because of Emacs, but the way you can do plaintext outlining, with great support for TODO's, in org-mode is fantastic. It reta

All metaphors break down at a certain point, but power tools and generative AI/LLMs being compared feels like somebody is romanticizing the art of programming a bit too much. Copyright law, education, just the sheer scale of things cha

When it comes to the comparison with other languages like Zig, Rust and Go, I disagree. I think it's because it hits its """new weird thing""" budget really quickly with Abilities and code in a database. T

I disagree with the author, but I also get the impression that their view of notes is fundamentally different than mine so there's that. I like the way LogSeq implemented daily notes, UX wise. It's an infinite scrolling page where

Does Zen browser allow you to hide the top (address) bar? That's the thing I liked about Arc.

This is a good point, and deserves a lot more discussion about it. I personally don't mind that my code is somewhere else than in a text file, because as it now I have to ductape a huge array of tools to make it to production in langua

The tooling is surprisingly good for such a "young" language. I've had experience with other budding languages, like Nim, Zig, ReasonML throughout the years(not comparing these languages, just their tooling, they have tradeof

Pleasant surprise to see Unison mentioned! The developer experience in Unison(and Unison Cloud) has been wonderful for me. I try to write as much in it as possible, for hobby projects or side projects for friends and family. Abilities(what

Kakoune does, and I found it (without extensions) to perform excellent even with multicursor. Not saying that array of lines is more performant than ropes, but just adding a datapoint here.

Using meow: https://github.com/meow-edit/meow I actually got keybindings in Emacs that are helix-like, so I use helix for certain projects and Emacs for others. The muscle memory transfers well.

I absolutely don't mind the plugin system being a Scheme. It's a plugin for a text editor, and Steel( https://github.com/mattwparas/steel ) seems to be a lot less of a maintenance burden than WASM plugins(besid

This, plus abilities[1](what Unison calls algebraic effects), make Unison such a joy to work with, it's a very pleasant experience. You can get straight to the business logic. I also hope it catches on, but Unison right now really give

Yeah, the learning curve is there, but it has its benefits for software development. Personally I really am enjoying the one implemented by Unison: https://www.unison-lang.org/docs/fundamentals/abilities/usin.

I really like d2 a lot more than its alternatives. However the big problem here being that d2 is still quite new and isn't as well supported as Mermaid JS

Can one try out this new DE right now?

I found the developer experience of EdgeDB to be really great. A CLI tool that does all the work, a very declarative schema language that is easy to learn, migrations built in. Helpful error messages The dotnet and TypeScript libraries were

What is the status of ReasonML? My first experiences with ReasonML were very nice, because I found OCaml syntax confusing. I kinda left around the time ReScript got introduced. But OCaml syntax after a while isn't that bad, and in F# a

I have tried oh-my-zsh, but still fish was easier to get started with. Especially with autocompletions. However oh-my-zsh was pleasant to use as well!

by sp33der89 4y ago
Fish is that shell for me. I tried nushell and zsh. zsh required a bunch of setup and nushell was too young. Whereas fish has really great defaults and enough of support to just go and have fun.

orgmode + org-babel comes really close, but I feel like org just doesn't get much traction outside of Emacs,because markdown is good enough.

Yea this is a thing too, I have no idea what is recommended in the current ecosystem. SBCL + Quicklisp? I don't even really know what ASDF is.

by sp33der89 4y ago
So how is programming in Common Lisp these days? I know a bit of Clojure/Fennel, but I feel like the Common Lisp ecosystem is a lot more fractured(I might very well be wrong tho)?

Yes, you'll have to tweak the default keybindings a bit to match Helix but I am using dance successfully: https://github.com/71/dance
