Not sure if this is an /s comment or not, but: - full-blown super-configurable window management is barely needed for dev work aside from several editor panes, being able to quickly switch to terminal/vcs, being able to jump to an

Re: 3 of the points: "unified environment", "extensibility", "customisation": all of these are solved by just using notebooks inside VSCode using its client. You get full IDE-like experience aware of all your l

I had a similar thought as well. The questions are then, first, how do we think/work in more cache-friendly manner? Do things linearly, plan things ahead, don't branch out on random noise? And, how to minimise allocations? Don&#x2

Unfortunately or not, in some fields conda is the only sane choice because it can manage non-Python binary dependencies that Python packages may depend on. Some of those dependencies may be huge C libraries that are a pain to build, like HD

After you've written your X thousands line of code in Rust, you won't clone/unwrap by default, but just immediately write correct idiomatic code that most often compiles on the first try and doesn't trigger any warnings

I think Just (as in Justfile) also solves most of your points, is reasonably widely used, also written in Rust and has integration plugins for it in most editors.

Well. To each their own, use cases differ so wildly it's hard to compare them. The key audience for conda is ML/DS space, where most if not all packages come from either C/C++/Rust/Fortran and have to be compiled, w

You forgot to add /s. Thanks but no, replacing a bunch of code as strings and then relying on some code _not_ compiling should be left in 20th century for good.

I gave up on fish many years ago because of various incompabitilities (e.g. syntax like `FOO=bar some-cmd` or `env FOO=bar some-cmd` etc), but to be fair, they have managed to patch lots/most of those. Returned back (from zsh) to fish
