What makes this a “modern” editor? When does it cease to be a modern editor?
- wpm 5y agoOne of these days I’m going to write a modern HN headline generator, in Rust!
- a9h74j 5y agoOf the Rust, by the Rust, for the Rust.
- timeon 5y agoComments like these reminds me how huge number of vegan recipes went from word 'vegan' to 'plant based' because of omnipresent harassment. And I already saw Rust project here that instead of mentioning 'Rust' in title went for 'oxidized'.
- patrick451 5y agoI find the "Some New Non-Library Whatever Project, in Rust" annoying because it usually seems like being written in rust is the main selling point. It just comes of as more garish advertising from the Rust Evangelism Strike Force. I don't care if my editor is written rust or c or haskell or whatever. Does it offer advantages to my workflow that my current editor does not? I often reach for ripgrep because it's fast and has convenient defaults. That it happens to be written in rust is a footnote.
- amelius 5y agoRust in peace.
- grinchygrinch 5y agoIt seems like lately every new(ish) piece of software is labeled as modern, fast and simple.
- wmf 5y agoI guess because it's non-modal.
- DerSaidin 5y agohttps://kakoune.org/ https://kakoune.org/ is modal, and imo it would be reasonable to call it modern. Perhaps "modern" in the terminal editor space is just a codebase that does not have 30 years of cruft (where cruft may include various legacy support and fixes for subtle/obscure/legacy bugs).
- Saint_Genet 5y agoEmacs isn't modal
- liberty-bzmh 5y ago"rust"
