Highly recommend Fantasque Sans Mono for a realistic take on the "comic-style" coding font - https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans

Unfortunately not available to compare on https://www.programmingfonts.org/ While I'm here: Victor Mono has been my programming font of choice for a while now: https://rubjo.github.io/victor-mono/

Using Zig to Build Native Lua Scripts(cone.codes)

Building a database is such a hard undertaking. I have to give a shoutout to RethinkDB, which also had cool tech and also failed commercially. And then if you have success as open core, AWS will just fork and offer a hosted version of your

I'm super bullish on Zig, but it's a bit early to bank on for production things as the language is still changing/being developed. To give another example of where this came up: they were discussing using Zig for the Ruby JIT

Yeah that's why I was asking about Cue's eventual goals with libraries like Serde. I assume eventually they'd like to be able to auto-generate type definitions for a target language, but I don't know. > Cue does not d

As has come up in this thread already, any discussion of typed config languages nowadays that doesn't mention Cue ( https://cuelang.org/ ) seems incomplete. They really seem to be tackling the problem in a thorough way.

Happy to hear about xh, thanks for mentioning it. I recently ran into a problem where HTTPie didn't support HTTP/2, so I had to fall back to curl. The ticket for HTTP/2 in HTTPie is still open https://github.com&#x

The page actually says that jo was an inspiration for the syntax supported.

This reads like it was written by a bot… except for spelling errors. I can’t even tell what it’s supposed to mean.

I’m disappointed by the HN crowd in this thread. Almost nothing brought up as a “similar tool” to Cog actually does what Cog does. Except ‘ot’ who gets it because they actually implemented something similar. I guess this is evidence of Cog’

by kbd 5y ago
That doesn’t seem similar to Cog, in that it doesn’t maintain the templating code in the output.

by kbd 5y ago
You haven’t taken the time to understand what Cog does. It’s not equivalent to a tempting engine like Jinja or PHP… or f-strings.

I’ve been using ptpython for a while because of its autocompletions. Really excited for that to come to ipython, but from a quick comparison ptpython’s still seems a bit better. You get automatic dropdowns where you have to hit tab in ipyth

Zig is full of good ideas and seems to be a truly serious attempt, by very talented developers, at improving the “C level” of the stack. I put my money where my mouth is and have a recurring donation to the Zig Software Foundation every m

This is indeed a superficial article: > Rust vs Python: advantages > Rust is well-designed. Rust allows for putting statements in a lambda and everything is an expression, so it’s easier to compose particular parts of the language. Py

This is fantastic. It'll make Go feel much less weird. eg from the diff: []interface{}{1, 2.0, "hi"} -> []any{1, 2.0, "hi"} Now that Go is going to have generics, all we need is sugar syntax for early retu

Don't miss https://github.com/dandavison/delta . I use gui diff tools much less nowadays because I can get such great diffs in the terminal.

Awesome, you made my day better knowing that it helped someone. Thanks for your comment! FWIW the rest of my (Mac-based) system config is all open source (both the files I linked are in the same repo) so feel free to steal anything else.

If anyone cares, here's my config: https://github.com/kbd/setup/blob/master/HOME/.hammerspoon/i... It shows off a tiny bit of what you can do with Hammerspoon: - window and app managem

The language used for this is incidental. The important part is all the OS interfaces exposed. If you know Python, you'll feel comfortable in Lua quickly.

Comparing the "plugin hunt" between vim and zsh is a bit much. I use three for Zsh, just syntax highlighting, autosuggestions, and fzf-tab. I don't use a Zsh plugin manager.
