It does if you want your article about it to be on the front page of Hacker News. I could see it mattering if you want to be a part of the community supporting an editor in Rust, because you think it offers great potential to be more stable than an editor in another language — but the author makes it clear that they want an editor which is stable right now.
- fuzzygroup 4y agoI'd love to think that I'm smart enough to get something onto Hacker News deliberately -- I'm not. I've gotten one other article I wrote hear in the past decade plus I've been a daily reader. I'm just someone who keeps getting kicked out of a flow state by software quality. (As a general observation software quality is horrid and if you care about software deeply, it is like a gut punch). And part of this is me -- I will run 50 plus editor windows, of which maybe 7 or 8 are tabs on active source bases. Still on a machine with N cores and 64 gigs of RAM, I don't think that is asking too much as the aggregate data size is maybe 500K of text ... I mean how big is source code really? Still the way I work seems to cripple things. I just like to maintain all my context at all times (consultant so I'm always juggling stuff).
