Yeah, for this reason I would pretty much never encourage exceptions in Python over some other form of error handling. It’s so frustrating when called code throws some random exceptions that are completely undocumented. This is one of the few things Java got (sort of) right
It would be nice if platforms like Forgejo and gitlab could hook into some sort of review and issue tracking protocol that was built directly into git, like git-appraise. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like git appraise is actively developed.
I think vscode has definitely come a long way since it first dropped several years ago. You can definitely get auto complete, goto, lining, etc. Via the LSP framework, so all those things should work for python and c with some plugin installs and maybe a bit of configuration. The built in debugging support is also really nice.
Neovim is basically the same as vim in terms of its editing modes. Vim and neovim use a action -> select paradigm eg. To delete a word you would type d (for the delete action) then w (to select the word). Helix uses a select -> action paradigm so to delete a word you would press w then d. One of the nice things about this is you can see what text you’ll be operating on before you actually perform an action. Helix also supports multiple cursors, which can be more familiar if you’re used to sublime, atom, etc. Both have support for LSP so you can basically get code intelligence on par with most IDEs for many languages. Helix is generally a bit easier to configure if you’re just using the base package, but isn’t as customizable and doesn’t support plugins yet.
If you want to check out neovim I’d recommend using a pre-built configuration like Lunarvim or Lazyvim these are just configuration distributions that take a lot of the legwork out of bringing neovim up to par with modern editors. Think of it like copying someone’s dot files.
As far as I’ve seen many code Ai assistants operate over the LSP framework and work in most editors, and maybe a chat window that’s pretty easy to add to most editors via a plug-in. Adding something like live collaboration is a bit more legwork
What features do you feel are missing from something like vscode? I’m a long time vim/neovim user but most of my co workers use vscode for everything with no complaints. I’ve actually been pretty jealous of stuff like jupyter integration.
If you can’t get used to vim, it might be worth checking out something like Helix it’s editing model is a bit different and clicks better for some people.
Idk, without a good collaborative mode there’s really not much you can do to differentiate yourself from existing options. Without some feature like that it’s hard to think of a reason to build yet another text editor.
I looked for it in nixpkgs yesterday and was confused as to why it wasn’t there 😮💨
I think it’s because it’s the only one that comes close to working well
The fucking rental is almost as much as 2 movie tickets where I’m at
If your cloud provider decides to screw you you’re gonna have to put physical infrastructure together no matter what license their software is distributed under.
A lot of sites will show an article stub in the feed, then make you go to the full site to read the whole thing.
I don’t really think it’s any of those things in particular. I think the problem is there are quite a few programmers who use OOP, especially in Java circles, who think they’re writing good code because they can name all the design patterns they’re using. It turns out patterns like Factory, Model View Controller, Dependency Injection etc., are actually really niche, rarely useful, and generally overcomplicate an application, but there is a subset of programmers who shoehorn them everywhere. I’d expect the same would be said about functional programming if it were the dominant paradigm, but barely anyone writes large applications in functional languages and thus sane programmers don’t usually come in contact with design pattern fetishists in that space.
