Two words: "depend a bot"... Okay, three words... Anyway, updating dependencies and fixing bugs is "maintenance", not "adding new features". From the project management perspective, the project is in "done

I think even better to encrypt the password in ~/.authinfo.gpg, e.g., machine my_db login my_usr password bla-bla-123 And then in the source block header, you can inject it into a variable :var pass=(auth-source-pick-fi

I don't even write in Rust, yet I'm curious if those libraries you talk about are truly in "abandoned" state and not simply in "done" state? Some languages somehow managed to build thriving ecosystems of librar

Yes! Doom Emacs & Spacemacs are recipe books, not necessarily concrete products you have to use in prescriptive manner. Any Emacs user can make use of their modules, some of them are full of interesting gems. I'd highly recommend e

Lua is especially annoying - even after years of using it I just can't really decide how to format it for better readability. lua-fmt sometimes works, often it makes it even worse. I welcomed Fennel in my Lua setups mainly because of t

Fennel already "works". There's a small community of devs around it and in my opinion and practice, it remains a better choice to use instead of Lua directly. I don't even hesitate - whenever I need to tap into Lua-based

AFAIK Janet is not "much simpler to interface with C++". Janet has good FFI for C, but not for C++ directly. Janet's native FFI system is designed specifically for C libraries. C++ has name mangling, classes, exceptions, and

It took me a minute to realize that you're talking about code formatting on HN, and it has nothing to do with Clojure. I was like: "What formatting are they talking about? It's darn Lisp - there's no 'formatting gri

So what's your point? I guess you haven't even used Clojure, just looked at this specific piece of code and decided for whatever reason is not "good"? It's as if I posted some text in Sanskrit (which I don't kn

Yeah, well, I don't think it's that simple. You can't just say "eh, gamedevs apparently just don't want 'interactive workflows'", which of course, not true - look at Unreal's Blueprint live editi

I just can't wait to see how Jank gets production-ready and absolutely blows the indie gaming community. Hopefully, very soon.

That's just existing muscle memory. Nothing is wrong with you and nothing is wrong with Clojure. I had the same feeling when I started with Lisp. Give it some time, it's absolutely worth it. Interestingly, every single programmer

IMO the only/main reason to rewrite C-parts in Rust is to refactor and untagle the code to generate better incentive for people to work on it, because from what I heard - some C parts of Emacs are of nightmarish complexity, and there

In Russian, you "spare" attention by "making" it. The word 'уделять' shares the same root with the word that means - 'deed', 'doing', 'act' or 'affair'.
