Here's a TUI / terminal editor I'd like: VSCode clone. Reads the same config file JSON formats from the same locations, loads and renders the same color schemes, runs the same Extensions Host, exposes the same API to extensio

"Winter" refers to an agricultural-age kind of shortage, not a ice-age-mammoth-hunters sort of situation. With most of the planet's humanity having less than 10k years of agriculture under their belt, it's perhaps been n

Side projects or not, just having a local "hack buddy" to "hang out & hack" / session with every once in a while is a real boon (going by my late-teens/early-twens memories ie. 15-25 years back). Outside of

That's how any C++ stuff of mine goes, "given the chance", ie. the self-contained, private/hobbyist stuff. With structs instead of classes you still have the convenience of instance methods (rather than just mynamespace_

What I never get about the huge Lua popularity in C/C++ land is how people manage the mental switch between 0-based and 1-based indexing. Or is this tunable from the VM/JIT-hosting side? Because if I were to use Lua-the-language s

I'm guessing once Zig is at 1.x (breaking changes before then), "real contenders" for C++ engines might shape up to on-par within the first few years of that point. (I mean the subset of such projects without prior or subsequ
