This depends on the context... If a file is pretty small, I would avoid sort pipes when there is a Python codebase. It's only useful when the files are pretty big (1-5GB+) They are tricky and not very portable. Sorting depends on local

People often use sort | uniq when they don't want to load a bunch of lines into memory. That's why it's slow. It uses files and allocates very little memory by default. The pros? You can sort hundreds of gigabytes of data. Th

It's better to learn the tools that you are using. Renaming is part of LSP servers and Zed has no control over them. They are unique for each language. Using AI for this is a waste of resources, especially when renaming affects tens of

Yes, but why they did not write it in a compiled language? Pyright is pretty slow in large code bases and takes a lot of RAM. Javascript can be faster than python in some cases, but Python is so easily extendable with C,C++, Cython, Rust. T

PyCharm has very basic type checking, though. It's not strict. > pyrefly, ty, pyright, and basedpyright All of them will complain 2-4x more about your code than PyCharm. I had more than 300 typing errors when I first opened my 20k L

It's just very hard to write such systems in C/C++. Even all these Rust versions are segfaulting and panicking quite a lot. So many corner and edge cases that can be found in Python code, and the memory handling is also hard. The

Ty has autocomplete for imports, but it's hidden behind a toggle right now. They are still working on it. They index all the modules and functions, so you can just type the function name and it will suggest the correct import and inser

It's written in Typescript, which is a super weird choice.

Yeah, there are now 3 competitors and they all written in Rust: - zuban - ty (from ruff team) - pyrefly One year ago, we had none of them, only slow options.

Personally, I don't like the idea of maintaining 500+ lines of config with tens of plugins. Setting up neovim from scratch is pretty tedious. Using something like lazyvim sets up 50 plugins, which are updated by simply taking the most

I thought the same until I tried coding things manually in Rust. It was so hard to write Rust without any assistance. I turned off AI to learn things properly. It was an illusion that I know what I'm doing until I disabled AI.

It made me dumb after a few years. Personally, I started to forget how to do things manually. I'm programming in 4 languages, and I literally forgot some of the syntax. It takes much more mental energy to type things quickly without as

Ok, thanks, I misunderstood that.

I was talking about potential security problems introduced in the code by LLMs. It's pretty easy to introduce something like IDOR when asking LLMs to write the code.

I hope they don't store any user data in their app. Trusting LLMs blindly is a bad idea.

I was talking about syntax. I'm pretty sure there will be new features that will require a new keyword or syntax given the speed of Python growth. It can be universal, for example same as decorator, but it can be applied anywhere.

Lazy imports mean late errors. Fail fast is a good design principle.

by f311a 1y ago
I don't like the idea of introducing a new keyword. We need a backward compatible solution. I feel like Python needs some kind of universal annotation syntax such as in go (comments) or in Rust (macros). New keyword means all parsers,

Give flashspace a try.

Try flashspace. It's a perfect solution when running apps full screen. You just bind your workspaces to keys and they switch instantly. Without any animations.

Well, it's not only about RAM. Things like calculating correct diffs take more time too, but it's hidden.

Interesting, the ink repo still states that codex is using it: Who's Using Ink? Codex - An agentic coding tool made by OpenAI. I guess they had initial versions written in TS? UPD. They switched 3 months ago.

by f311a 1y ago
You can decompile it, but it's pretty well known that it uses TypeScript, React, and Ink. Same for gemini, codex and others.

It still bothers me that almost every agentic TUI is written in TS + React. It often consumes at least a few GB of RAM. No one bothers about it. Everybody is trying to ship as fast as possible.
