It's less about the key mappings and more about the portability and lightweight nature of vim. So Clion runs on java and is really heavy while vim can be spun up instantly while you're sshed into any machine. I want both of these

I mean the ide does have vim emulation but that's not what I'm thinking about. Try the other direction: Vim IDEA

Well vscode is written on electron. Your editor in that case is a full blown browser basically. I see no reason why something as lightweight as vim or emacs can be configured to be as powerful as vscode while being much more lightweight.

Yeah I can think of it that way. But I don't want to. I want a batteries included ide as lightweight as vim and as powerful as Clion, not two tools. Currently you see a bunch of programmers divided into two camps. Those that prefer th

Given the brittleness there should be at least a single configuration that works. I believe that tikhonj is right in the sense that nix can capture this configuration. Nix is not required but I can see how it can help.

I'm positive some sadist somewhere in this world has all the software on their OS as a nix expression. I'm also positive that at least one of these people has a fully featured emacs IDE and all the required dependencies as part of

I would say python/javascript is more powerful with polymorphism as it defines polymorphism over everything. Saying Haskell is more powerful when it comes to compile time guarantees is like saying Haskell is more powerful because it is

I really wish there was a batteries included vim-like console editor with all the power of the jet brains suite of IDEs and convenience and lightness of vim. As it stands right now I end up using both an IDE and vim. Maybe emacs is the answ

This isn't code generation. This exists in other typed languages including Go. It's called interfaces or polymorphism. It's done via interfaces or inheritance in other languages. This is still a restriction. A function that o

Kind of but if you think about it generics and parametric polymorphism in general is a restriction on the types that a function can take as parameters. It is a feature that allows you to restrict how a function is used. In a sense you are u

You're the one that put focus on the term. I didn't do that. I'm defining powerful in the same sense the article defines it. My argument in response to your reply is to say there is no reasonable alternate definition and peop

So tell me what do people mean when they say Haskell is more "powerful"? Tell me the definition. I don't think there is a different definition. I think it's just that most people aren't sure why Haskell is "bet

There are problems outside of cognitive burden. More expressiveness actually leads to a higher error surface area. The more power you have the more opportunities you also have to shoot yourself in the foot. Removing mutability as a feature

It's well known that less power leads to less opportunities to shoot yourself in the foot. The article talks about "less" power from a qualitative perspective like how "Go" is less "powerful" than "C+

Climate is also a more macro level view of a system. Think Entropy. Imagine Oxygen molecules in a box. The individual movements are complex and unpredictable but at a very high level macro view we can see all of these movements in aggregate

Yes, but "parallel" is also used in CS to specify multiple things happening at the same time including IO. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Parallel_computing Quote: "Parallel computing is a type of computati

No you're confused. I'm perfectly aware of the differences between parallelism and concurrency. You are not. Have you ever heard of a popular web server framework called NodeJS? You can create servers with NodeJS that handle 10k c

No man. Python threads are not fibers. This is factually wrong. Please Read: https://wiki.python.org/moin/GlobalInterpreterLock

One use case is IO bound applications. Similar to NodeJS which can handle 10K concurrent IO calls on a single thread, python releases the GIL on IO. So you can write pure python and have multi threading and have all the benefits of "pa

by Geminidog 6y ago
Also from certain perspectives parallelism is achieved with threads during IO. So if 20 threads are making blocking IO calls, all 20 threads can make progress on those IO calls in parallel while having an additional parallel thread doing co

by Geminidog 6y ago
You are completely wrong. GIL is released on I/O. So threads can parallelize during I/O calls. This means if your application is bottle necked by IO threading is better. If it's bottle necked by both IO and compute or only co

Tech debt is always described as a metaphor. The word itself is a metaphor for something ill defined. The problem with the metaphor is that a vague definition of the problem means that there will be equally vague solutions. No one is reall
