Edge is stuff tacked on Chromium. How can it be better?!

True, I myself prefer VS Codium but how many people use it? And some site like Coursera have VSCode on the web and it can’t be changed to VSCodium.

I just hope it’s not yet another electron or DOM based editor

Unfortunately, yes.

JS simply does not care.

I am not saying otherwise. But do we still have a say?

Aren’t we past that point?

VS Code is Electron based and it can even be deployed in the cloud. We are talking about one of the most popular IDEs.

Interesting take!

Yep, that’s a good reason. I guess dot files should also be downloaded from github just like extensions. Makes this stuff a lot easier.

What about maintainability of large code bases? JS even with TS tacked isn’t so great or at least not as good as Rust.

My bad. I can’t find the actually video but there exits a startup that shutdown because Rust/WASM performance wasn’t any better on top of that it’s was harder to develop with Rust. But as my edit to my previous comment shows things got better for Rust. It’s no longer the case.

compose into some crazy one-liner piped chains of commands

Why not something that is completely redesigned from the ground up:

• https://www.nushell.sh/

IIRC a startup tried to exactly that… It’s wasn’t any faster and is actually harder to develop.

EDIT:

Sorry ignore these videos. I don’t remember which YouTube video it is. But more importantly Rust + WASM got really better than JS these days.

It’s working for me.

There is no single place but:

• Check out the pull requests tab: Nix RFCs
• 2023 Summer of Nix program goals
• Effort to update documentation: Documentation Team Discussion
• Ground Zero: check out issues on GitHub page of nix and nixpgks. Some issues act as discussion starters.

A simpler way would be to keep an eye on the “Developer Category” in the forum.

Nix is not transitioning for the last 20 years. The community recently had a lot of discussion lately and starting towards a better path. It’s moving at such a pace that even official wikis maybe be out of date.

Of course I cannot say if this change will fit your particular needs. As someone who tries new things but not always gets success I understand your frustration.

You caught NixOS when it is “transitioning”. It WILL get simple in the future. And of course there is no ETA.

I didn’t but did you try GNU Guix? It’s supposed to be much more elegant.

Yeah, C# and Rust, in their own ways, pretty much covered what D lang set out to do.
