I’ve been using it for a while, because I kept having performance and stability problems with TST. Sidebery is much faster for me, I recommend!

I’ve been using Emacs for Go dev for years and have barely touched my Go-related config. It’s vanilla lsp-mode with some hooks like format-on-save. It was more fiddly when I started because gopls was new, but now it’s just rock solid (and f

IPFS has a similar property as BitTorrent in that, as a piece of content is used more often, it is cached in more nodes on the network and becomes easier to find, which generally improves perf.

We all have heard the elevator pitch for Rust by now, since all it takes is for a submission to say "written in Rust" for it to appear on the front page of HN.
