    Variable width fonts are important for non-ascii text and other unicode features that cant fit inside a perfect rectangular grid of "letters", plain text that is just LTR graphemes does not exist. TUI first also has other issues like imposing one font size for everything and severely limiting you in what you can do with things like popups and other appearance related things.

      Indeed, even if you don't care for writing essays/emails in your text editor, programs who work with BIDI text (e.g. devanagari) or hindi/arabic can have far better shaping and joining support than what would otherwise be available through a TUI (or even neovim guy). In emacs i personally prefer having proportional fonts for comments, but I can understand why it would throw some users off.

    Although I use Emacs I do agree with prime boi when it comes his take on vim, that is, GNU/Linux is your environment and vim is its editor.
    Emacs on the other hand is very different and it is hard for someone coming from vim (or any other text editor) to understand why a lot of people like Emacs simply by "trying it out". You most likely won't "get it" until you have learnt lisp in order to take advantage of the extensibility of Emacs, for while the biggest selling point of vim is its editing capabilities, extensibility is what makes Emacs great as well as the introspectability and interactive development experience that comes with being built on lisp.

I also use a multiplexer (Zellij, cuz Rust and floating panes (very useful, can't live without them now)) + broot for fuzzy searching, and it's all I need really, been working like this for about 4-5 months now and can barely use normal IDE's at this point.

And I presume they're referring only to programming history, because in mathematical history, ever since right around 5,000 years ago all number systems start with zero. And, w.r.t common number systems on computers binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal all start with 0, but what else would you choose for binary? 1, 2? I don't think so.

    • @sub-harmonik
      @sub-harmonik Рік тому +1

      because number systems are actually based around 0, not 1. for instance if you want to look up into a table with the result of a modulo you always have to add 1 it's super annoying.
      or even if you have some function in a table, you always have to add 1 after some math operation. e.g. I have a 2048 element table that stores a sine wave, and a phase value that goes from 0 to 1 (exclusive). so after multiplying by the size of the table and doing floor or some other interpolation I have to add 1 before lookup.
      I love lua but in retrospect trying to combine arrays and hashtables into 1 general data structure was probably a mistake.

    One point from my side. Who really likes shell programming and the shell programming language? But I also want as much support for as less typing as possible. If I just want to write a fast script, of course, I can do that in whatever shell I like, but I really dislike the programming way. Now what alternatives do I have. Yes there is scsh (it uses Scheme, that's a nice and niche programming language, but it hardly supports all the interactive stuff I can have in zsh. Then there is the Python Shell, sorry, forget its name, you can program in Python and that is definitely a + to Shell. Now I just let my imagination run wild, how nice would be kind of shell / UI in Common Lisp, so yes Emacs with Common Lisp as programming language, that would be so great. Or the Smalltalks-gods may forbig a Smalltalk-Shell. Yes, you can use e.g Pharo Smalltalk to do a lot but it's not easy to handle the file system and there is not even one decent Editor. Not one. And so I bet this editor will please him (maybe) but ...

    What prime said is basically what it is. You can spin up a "text editor" in like 2 minutes. You won't get a proper editor, or an "IDE" that fast though. Just look at something like nvim vs helix. At the top level, they do basically exactly the same thing, except one grew based on two decades of decisions, and the other one doesn't have any plugin support. This is very similar to Jetbrains' Fleet, which is essentially... useless

      Your text editor doesn't need many features, just a solid experience when interacting with code via tree-sitter and lsp and navigation between files.

    That sounds like a modern version of emacs. They want emacs.

      I actually prefer writing fennel over elisp
      The syntax just feels more modern to me, and this from someone using Emacs on a regular basis, mainly to write fennel...

    Lua is kind of an abomination to me, but there's one thing I have to give it: Factorio. Factorio is written in lua and it's a mess of complex. And yet, somehow, the devs have made it so damn optimized.
    Perhaps it would be more optimized in Go, Rust, or C. But the fact that it can be that optimized at all is very impressive

    • @343N

      Factorio is written in C++. It just has a Lua API interface for modders.

      The main issue with luajit isn't that you can't write fast code, it's just that you can't write idiomatic code fast. It's one or the other. Luau has made some project on that front though (by pretty much rewriting the entire interpreter), but well-written lua (especially with luau type hints) can still hold up to certain compiled languages!

    • @raiguard
      @raiguard Рік тому +5

      If Factorio was entirely written in Lua the performance would be laughably bad. Lua is very fast for a scripting language, but it's still a scripting language. Factorio itself is written in highly optimized C++.

    • @bored2171
      @bored2171 Рік тому +1

      @@raiguard Completely agree, hence why the graphical framework, rope implementation, semantic parsing, and all of the performance-critical bits for the editor will be written in rust. However, just wanted to point out that luajit is still more than performant enough for most higher-level tasks (including templating and configuration) and that implementing the majority of code in lua shouldn't be a bottleneck.

    • @raiguard
      @raiguard Рік тому +2

      ​@@bored2171Right, writing something like a text editor in Lua is fine. Factorio has to scale to immense sizes, and has to be deterministic for multiplayer, meaning that we had to heavily customize Lua to make it entirely deterministic. LuaJIT would be practically impossible for this use case.

    @theprimetime you're using vim the way UNIX was designed. UNIX is the IDE, vi/vim is the text editor (btw I have zero qualms with Emacs)
