@vaxryy I signed up for it because it would be cool to meet you; unfortunately something else came up that day so I won't get to 😔
Anyhow, I love using the software you're building. Keep up the good work!

[Caleb Marshall @calebirder]

@LundukeJournal Rust has a proper package manager and a convenient build system.

[Caleb Marshall @calebirder]

@IamKyros69 Wheat fields are a bit more important, I'd say

[Caleb Marshall @calebirder]

@LundukeJournal Lunkduke was a lot of fun before Rust gained widespread adoption. Now it feels like he spends half his time bashing an imperfectly good language. I love making fun of annoying languages (PHP, anyone?) but this is getting tiresome.

@LEGENDARYMSR69 @RealJoseAbell @Menace_thakur Most people wouldn't learn at all. They'd just stay in Windows and use Notepad++
I didn't learn Linux by using Gentoo. I learned Linux by using Ubuntu for 6 months then switching to Arch.

@onehappyfellow I get it's a joke, but if you go through the changelogs you can pretty frequently see "Make app X use Chromium web wrapper instead of using electron vx.y.z", so it probably ships with fewer chromium copies than most OSes

[Caleb Marshall @calebirder]

@edandersen It was possible for me

[Caleb Marshall @calebirder]

@IroncladDev I nominate you

@penberg If you can learn only two languages, they should be:

English
C

[Caleb Marshall @calebirder]

@adamwathan This is actually genius.

[Caleb Marshall @calebirder]

@vaxryy Yes but writing it in C++ was such a missed opportunity. Just think of how good it could have been if hyprland was written in typescript

[Caleb Marshall @calebirder]

@dhh Is tablet mode on your roadmap? I know your main target is developers with a keyboard, but with all the talk of running it on a @FrameworkPuter it would be nice to take full advantage of the 12's features.

[Caleb Marshall @calebirder]

@vaxryy Shocker! You were totally the last person I'd expect to here this from 😂

[Caleb Marshall @calebirder]

@thorstenball Switch to using lazy.nvim to help startup time. You're gonna need it with all those plugins :)

[Caleb Marshall @calebirder]

@chmhofer @FrameworkPuter Yeah this is what I meant to ask 😂

[Caleb Marshall @calebirder]

@Eslatt13 @LundukeJournal Rust doesn't support the ++ operator.
You instead do Problem+=1

[Caleb Marshall @calebirder]

@LundukeJournal What kind of lunatic would pipe awk into sed?

[Caleb Marshall @calebirder]

@vaxryy VSCodium surprises me, I totally took you for an emacs user.

[Caleb Marshall @calebirder]

@dhh @vaxryy Dallas has a lot of direct flights everywhere
