Morning! What's on the docket today?
y'all!
I make custom 3D engines and love writing lower-level code in general. Living in Bulgaria. https://github.com/GoNZooo & https://www.youtube.com/@mccGoNZooo
There is nothing better for making your workflow your own using your editor and the tools you already have (or can easily write in whatever you want) than .
Team vim, team emacs, or team “my editor doesn’t start wars”? One line, no essays. Go!
Not insane at all. People should build their own instead of using other people's agents. It's easy to do and the results can be great for you. I've built several; one that is effectively "stuck" in Kakoune: youtube.com/…/playlist
I’m an insane person who built their own coding harness, in Rust. I’ve called it
Rho. Please forgive this landing page:https://rho-code.devI just wanted an easy central spot.
That sounds really cool. Above all I really like hearing that someone enjoys their work and likes showing up for it. I've had that feeling on a few contracts and it's great. Looking to get into embedded myself, since it seems that's where you get to have all the fun writing C. :)
Some specialized censors used in automated manufacturing. It's pretty cool, I look forward to coming into the office almost every day. I've worked for a few f500 companies and took a pay cut to come here. A bunch of people from my college robotics club work here too.
That's pretty neat.
Yes, meow is the second-most popular modal editing package, after evil (vim). https://github.com/meow-edit/meow
Support everywhere (in every way) was key to me starting to use C again. It's nice to not have to worry about the language you use being left out somewhere, a non-starter somewhere else and having to mentally translate it to something else (Zig/Odin in a debugger -> C).
has been such a pleasure. Haven’t tried Odin, but was using for a while, and I just found myself pulled back to C. A minimal sharp tool. Runs anywhere. Can actually write a compiler for it. Short bootstrap chain from hex0. Does anybody care about these things (anymore)?
Why are we talking about C#? I'm talking about C.
C# is a very different animal from C/C++, it's used extensively in lob apps, web apps, game dev. Virtually anything one would use Java for and a bit more even. Its essentially a much more pleasant-to-use Java
Considering how absolutely barren it seems out there in terms of C jobs versus C++ jobs, I can barely believe it. What do you work on?
I get paid to write it if you can believe that.
You have , there is no need. I tried Emacs out a while ago to see whether it could replace Kakoune (I wanted to draw arbitrary stuff like images, 3D views, etc., in the editor) but honestly, Kakoune makes everything so easy to integrate that it was hard for it to compete.
my bad! i might have to give emacs a fair shake at some point
Ah, no, I meant meow, the Kakoune-inspired emacs plugin.
kakoune? it has its fair share of users, it addresses the only two gripes i had with the vim editing model: flips the action order to object->verb, and improves command discoverability
Damn, is it popular or is this one hell of a coincidence?
nice! using meow (kakoune-inspired) modal editing
I'm making a Kakoune version of this for sure.
(defun textlog-post (beg end) "Publish the region between BEG and END to `textlog-url'. Interactively, requires an active region. Returns the URL of the new post when the server reports one."
This is what we need.
exploring, looks cool, writing emacs package for it.
Oh, I guess I'm not really up-to-date on what IDEs are doing. Good point.
I think they mean the transition that all IDE's are making towards an agentic interface, hiding the code completely as humans will not have to interact with it since the AI will be doing a better job at everything, even auditing it.
What is the exact definition of an IDE? JetBrain's products are as good as ever, in my opinion, but people have definitely made non-IDEs into big, hulking behemoths with tons of plugins. If anything, maybe "just an editor" is dead?
Is the IDE dead?
