The fail whale still around? Is she extinct too?

Not saying you’re wrong, I’m just explaining what I think of when I think ide. I think of visual studio and its integration into windows dev, Xcode and its integration for macOS and apple dev, etc. I think of vscode as a super sublime text in its goals, or akin to vim/helix

When I think IDE I think Visual Studio or IntelliJ or XCode, these extremely heavy single use (originally at least, C# Java and ObjC respectively) behemoths. But then again I was born in the late 1900s. I think of vscode and atom before more akin to a JavaScript successor of notepad++

I learned to copy/paste website source code into notepad when I was a teenager, so vscodium is more than enough for my needs. I have been full time doing front end web dev, shipping in production, since 2014. I do svelte these days for internal tooling for a well known grocer currently. Having Linux experience as well ever since knoppix came out also helped

Holy shit, it’s an elixir or app, the beam makes a lot of sense for that

right, but popular (and valid imo) complaint about mobile on linux is the lack of apps. GUI applications either have to bring their own GUI toolkit (slint/qt/etc) or use the one provided by the host (the DE on linux). Like all of linux, its very fragmented at the moment, and theres no clear leader

most linux users now just use flathub and their distros flatpak manager

for me the blinking cursor resets when i enter my luks key 😅 so when i see the cursor immediately disappear i know my keyboard is workin, but absolutely agree on that

linux and the DEs dont make it easy to write apps for, this is a compositor/window manager/de issue to solve.

Want to write an for gnome? Javascript or c++. Enjoy libadwaita. Want to write for kde? C++ only. Dont want to write js and you only know kotlin/swift/java/objc? Tough fucking shit, get fucked. Want to write rust? Not supported by kde or gnome ootb, the learning resources are bare etc. Oh and for kde you have to learn QT as well have fun:)

Itd be cool if rust was the baseline standard for writing apps and was fully supported by the major DEs. I honestly cannot be bothered to learn C++ just to make a tiny app for my desktop, I will never use it again in my life because it is dying.

that deserves a comment then to clarify, because irrational downvoting ahouldnt be encouraged

downvoted for literally having a harmless opinion, classic lemmy

the guy bought back gog and is pushing linux? Consider me even more a gog fan

ocaml and haskell and erlang power like… a shitton of industry production code. If erlang software disappeared, internet dies for a bit until people replace all the broken routers.

itch.io is a sin against the web. Those idiotic people… enjoying non document based web applications… they are destroying the internet!

The godot foundation is a destructive force and must be ended before all of the web as we know it has capitulated to… javascript and non DOM APIs!!!

the web is the display server/compositor of the internet

if you want it to go away, everyone who is working on it and making it work right now disagrees with you

everything you said goes away with canvas and video games.

“durrrr video gaimes no belongy on interwebzzzz bcuz the DOM is for word documents onlyyyyyyyyy steve ballmer said sooooo” – an idiotic luddite

wasm runtimes are the next app platform or will inspire it

🙋‍♂️

Congratulation, you just installed the latest shai halud virus

still have the patch they sent for people who published packages. I made a theme no one but me used but still! Pre microsoft github was cool

I am glad I worked on codebases where we didnt run fast and break things. Well built software is achievable, but not flashy

I thought python was one of those weird OOP languages like Java or C# that bound all classless methods to some universal static class but im wrong on that.

They are out there though so be on the lookout for these languages that doesnt believe in algebra.
