I’m an adult with combined type ADHD. I feel very strongly that any device which has other apps is a terrible tool for ADHD management and organization. No matter how well intentioned, and I know that you are. One needs to spend less time o

With Metals the Scala 3 development experience is better; plus one is no-longer tied to one specific IDE.

No, you're right. It is perfectly clear from the type signature

Exactly. I've long held the sentiment, that pure functional programming is easier than imperative programming. The only hard part, is switching from an imperative mindset.

I use exa daily, and this is the first time that I’ve heard of eza. From a marketing standpoint, eza should be merged upstream.

I trialed a similar set up with code-server for a few weeks, and was shocked at how well it works, provided stable and fast internet access. Although VSCode is impressive, at the end of the day, I'm an emacser. I went back to: emacs i
