To implement a proper IDE, you're going to have to "duplicate" that logic anyway.

While I do love vim, its own high level of internal implementation brokenness doesn't really have much bearing on how one implements this sort of thing in a real multi-language IDE. And as for your question, the answer is ... yes. Sure

That would be an API; JSON IPC is used because of the difficulty in hoisting language-native AST/indexing APIs into JavaScript.

by teacup50 9y ago
Libraries solve the problem of said middle end in a compiler, and in an IDE. If you insist on using IPC, then you've incurred a great deal of friction in a place that it matters. If you insist on using JSON IPC, then you've incu

No, it's merely a work-around for two very distinct and self-inflicted problems: - The pain of exposing language-native compiler/language AST and indexing APIs to a JavaScript IDE. - RMS' inability to accept that GCC might ne

Those would be symptoms. These are merely "lived experiences" as related by a self-selected group under the banner of a very specific ideology.

When all else fails, deflect. Does Rust also have polls to determine the number of contributors who are Christian, and an outreach program to increase those numbers?

You're being remarkably disingenuous; please consider your comments an example of deleterious politics.

Well, an open challenge that might help someone understand what I actually think, at least along one axis: Let's say I want to objectively evaluate the notion that there is such a thing as an arbitrary, self-declared, non-binary "

The science is bad and the politics are deleterious. That has nothing to do with prejudices on my part; thinking that the methodology and behavior is naively toxic at best doesn't mean I disagree with the egalitarian aims that are cl

Nonsense! Germany banned Hitler from public speaking in the 1920s; all this did was give Hitler more notoriety, and the NSDAP more propaganda material to work with. Nazi Germany still did not emerge through democratic processes; they failed

They ask what the symptoms are. They do not ask the patient to determine what the cause is. Rust's methodology suffers from severe self-selection bias and politically motivated thinking. It will unerringly produce the answers its creat

If you're ascribing the pseudoscience in this analogy to the parent's position, you have it backwards.
